Gluten-Free White Chicken Chili
A satisfying meal in 40 minutes! Each helping is very generous and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 TB olive oil
- 4 chicken breasts (skinless and deboned), cut into chunks (We use Butcher Box meat)
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 green chilies, seeds removed and finely diced
- ½ TB ground cumin
- ½ TB dried oregano
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3 cups cannellini beans, drained weight
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, to serve
- 2 jalapeno peppers, sliced to serve
- Chopped cilantro, to garnish
Instructions
Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large pot and brown the chicken pieces on the outside. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the second tablespoon olive oil to the same pan and cook the onion, garlic, and green chilies over moderate heat until they have softened.
Add the cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Tip in the cannellini beans and return the chicken pieces to the pan. At this time, pour in the chicken broth.
Cook over moderate heat until most of the liquid has reduced and you are confident the chicken pieces have cooked through.
Taste the mixture and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Divide the mixture between 4 warm bowls and sprinkle on some grated Cheddar, fresh jalapeno slices, and plenty of freshly chopped cilantro.
