Ingredients:
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 700 g)
- 2 cans of white beans (425g each)
- 2 x 113g cans chopped green chillies, not hot
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, stemmed and finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 0.5 tsp ground ancho pepper
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 4 cups chicken broth
- Serving options: chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, crispy chili-lime corn nuts, tortilla chips, sour cream, thinly sliced radishes, pickled jalapeños, avocado, shredded cheddar, chopped bacon, shredded cabbage
Preparation:
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, jalapeño, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the ancho powder, coriander, and cumin and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Then pour in the chicken broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, add the white beans and their liquid to the pan with the broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour about half of the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth (be careful when working with hot liquid in a blender). Return the blended mixture to the pan and add the green chili. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Meanwhile, tear the chicken breasts along the grain. Return the chicken to the pan with the chili and season with salt and pepper.
Serve chili with a variety of toppings.
