  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeño. Sauté until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Cook Chicken: Add diced chicken breasts to the pot. Season with ground cumin, dried oregano, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Simmer: Stir in drained white beans, diced green chilies, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Add Corn and Cream: Stir in frozen corn kernels and heavy cream or half-and-half. Let the chili simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
