Gettin’ Started
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s check out what we need to whip up this marvelous bowl of goodness.

Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cans (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- First off, heat that olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in your chopped onion and sauté it for about 5 minutes until it’s nice and soft. Then throw in the garlic and cook for another minute. Can you smell that?!
- Next up, put those chicken breasts into the pot. Pour in your chicken broth and let everything come to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat once it’s bubbling and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Once the chicken’s ready, take it outta the pot, shred it, and set it aside. You’ll wanna add the shredded chicken back in later.
- Now it’s time to add in those white beans, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir it all up and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Get ready for that flavor explosion!
- Finally, once that chili has thickened up a bit, stir in the shredded chicken, let it heat through, and you’re almost done!
- Garnish with some fresh cilantro if you’re feelin’ fancy, and serve it up hot. Your friends are gonna love this!
