White Chicken Chili
Directions
- 1Cut your onion, jalapeño, and garlic.
- 2Heat up some olive oil on medium/medium high heat in a large pot.
- 3Add in your chicken breasts and season with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper.
- 4Sear the chicken on both sides, then set aside. The chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked at this point.
- 5Turn the heat down slightly and add in your butter.
- 6Add the onion and jalapeño. Sauté that for a few minutes while scraping the bottom of the pot to get all that yummy flavor.
- 7Add the garlic.
- 8Stir and then add the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- 9Stir and sauté for another five minutes.
- 10Then add the fire roasted chiles, beans, corn, and chicken broth.
- 11Add the chicken back in and bring to a boil.
- 12Turn the heat to low and cover. Let this simmer on low for 25 to 30 minutes.
- 13Once the time is up, take out the chicken, shred it, and add it back in.
- 14Add in the cream cheese and stir. It will look a little clumpy, but don’t worry. As it simmers, it will become smooth.
- 15Let that simmer for another five minutes, then add the heavy cream and stir.
- 16Cut up your toppings.
