  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can sweet corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: crumbled cotija cheese, extra cilantro, lime wedges, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and poblano peppers and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika to the pot and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, then add the shredded chicken, cannellini beans, and sweet corn. Stir well to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with crumbled cotija cheese, extra cilantro, and lime wedges, if desired. Add a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.

Notes

For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño pepper along with the poblano peppers. This chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
