White Bean Chicken Chili
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 quart chicken broth
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans white (cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a substantial cooking vessel over a medium-high thermal setting. Introduce the chicken, bell pepper, and onion into the pot; cook until the chicken is nicely browned and the vegetables are tender and soft, taking approximately 5 to 7 minutes for this process.
2
Add the jalapeños and garlic to the pot; cook until they release their fragrance, which should take roughly 1 minute.
3
Next, pour in a substantial amount of chicken broth into the pot. Then, stir in salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then gradually decrease the heat to a lower thermal setting and let it simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, taking around 20 minutes for this process.
5
Finally, add the beans to the pot and stir in some cilantro; cook until the beans are hot and soft, taking approximately 10 minutes for this process.
