A comforting and flavorful white chicken chili recipe, perfect for cozy dinners.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Use a sharp knife to make dicing easier and safer.
In a large pot, sauté the onion in a bit of oil until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Add the garlic and green chilies to the pot and cook for another minute.
Adding the garlic later prevents it from burning and becoming bitter.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breasts. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmering gently ensures the chicken stays tender.
Remove the chicken breasts, shred them, and return them to the pot.
Use two forks to easily shred the chicken.
Stir in the beans, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cream cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or chopped cilantro.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or tortilla chips for dipping.
