  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  2. Add shredded chicken, chicken broth, great northern beans, and diced green chiles to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and avocado.

Notes

For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans with a potato masher or immersion blender before adding the cream. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for a touch of brightness.
