Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can white beans, drained
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and release the aromatic flavors.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans, corn kernels, and shredded chicken to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Sprinkle cumin, salt, and pepper into the mixture. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the chili.
- Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the broth to slightly thicken.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the chili seems too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to further develop.
- Serve hot in bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or a small dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
Tips
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: For a quicker option, consider using store-bought rotisserie chicken. It saves time and adds a delicious depth of flavor to your chili.
- Customize Your Spices: Feel free to adjust the cumin and seasoning to your taste. If you enjoy a bit of heat, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!
- Let It Simmer: The longer you let the chili simmer, the more the flavors will meld together. If you have extra time, let it simmer for up to an hour on low heat for an even richer taste.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your chili by garnishing with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess. These simple additions can brighten up the dish and enhance its flavor.
- Make It Ahead: This chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors develop even more, making it a fantastic option for meal prep!
- Freezing Tips: If you want to make a big batch, this chili freezes well! Portion it into airtight containers and freeze for up to three months for a quick and easy meal later on.
