Extra (Ap)Petite – The Best White Chicken Chili

Step 1

Heat the oil over a large pot on medium-low heat. Cook and stir the onion until tender. Mix in the garlic, jalapeno, green chile peppers, cumin, cayenne, and oregano. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the beans then chicken broth, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.

Step 2

At this point if you want a thicker texture, dip an immersion blender into your pot, and pulse a few times to puree some of the beans before adding chicken. Otherwise, just stir in the chicken and simmer another 15 minutes. ****

Step 3

Stir in optional corn at the end before turning off the heat. Serve hot and top with garnishes. I just love the added sweetness of corn and some fresh cilantro with the spices in this!
