- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Drop in onion and cook until it is mushy translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add Spices and Green Chilies: Stir cumin, coriander, chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika into the onion mixture; cook for 1 minute. Stir to cook on for about 1 minute. Now, add the chopped green chilies and mix thoroughly.
- Add Chicken Broth and Beans: Pour in the chicken broth, white beans, and cooked shredded chicken. Stir to combine.
- Simmer the chili. Return the pot to high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil before turning down your stovetop so its at medium or low with no lid on for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring till thickened and flavors blended.
- Add Creaminess: Stir in the sour cream and softened cream cheese to get a creamy mixture.
- Add the corn and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until heated.
- Season and Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide chili among bowls, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, grated cheese, or sliced avocado. Serve with a side of Homemade Cornbread or Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks for the perfect accompaniment.
Tips and Variations
- Hot chili: Add a minced jalapeno or 1 to 2 tablespoons more of the cayenne if you like it hot. For a different protein pick, you could also try substituting the already cooked and then shredded chicken for some shredded turkey or ground chicken.
- Mash: If you like a thicker chili, mash some of the white beans before adding them to your pot or simply use less broth.
- To Make It Dairy Free: Use some cashew or coconut milk for a dairy-free stroganoff and swap the sour cream with more of the former.
- Slow cooker: Combine all ingredients except the sour cream/cream cheese in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Add sour cream and softened block cheese for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
