Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 (14-ounce) cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 (4-ounce) cans mild green chiles with juices
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅔ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté onions for 4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
- Stir in chicken broth, beans, green chiles, diced chicken, corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk sour cream with ½ cup hot chili to temper. Stir tempered sour cream back into the pot until creamy and well combined.
Notes
For added nutrition, include extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. To make ahead, prepare the base without sour cream, store refrigerated, and stir in tempered sour cream before serving. Great with toppings like avocado, cilantro, lime, or shredded cheese.
