White Bean Chicken Chili

Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup diced chicken
  • 1 jar salsa verde
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup lentils, any kind (optional)
  • 1 can great northern beans (white beans)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1-3+ cups misc veggies (diced peppers, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes)
  • cumin
  • garlic powder
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • shredded cheese for serving
  • tortilla chips (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Saute the chicken (if raw) and onions, garlic
  • Add any other raw veggies, and lentils (if using). Add enough broth to cover, or supplement with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until veggies begin to soften and lentils are mostly cooked.
  • Reduce heat to med-low. Add salsa and diced tomatoes. Simmer for a bit. Add any additional seasonings to taste: cumin, salt/pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc.
  • Add white beans and corn. Simmer some more.
  • Once everything is cooked well and reduced and looks more like chili-consistency and less like soup, turn the heat off. Let cool for a few mins, and add 1 cup of sour cream and stir well until totally combined.
  • Serve topped with shredded cheese, and with tortilla chips, and any other toppings. Diced avocado is delish. Chopped fresh tomato and/or green onion would be amazing. Load it up.
