Hearty White Chicken Chili: A One-Pot Wonder

Ingredients

• 1. A splash of olive oil for a flavorful touch
• 2. Two ample chicken breasts, sans skin and bones, chopped into small pieces
• 3. A couple of garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 4. A sprinkle of dried chives, oregano, thyme, and basil for herbal goodness
• 5. Pinch of salt and pepper to your liking
• 6. A single bay leaf for depth of flavor
• 7. Five cans of great Northern beans, portioned
• 8. A generous amount of water
• 9. A can of diced tomatoes to add freshness
• 10. A jar of salsa for a zesty kick
• 11. A dollop of sour cream to finish it off.

Step 1

Begin by warming olive oil in a generously sized pot on medium heat. Toss in chicken, garlic, chives, oregano, thyme, basil, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a bay leaf. Cook and stir until the chicken is cooked through and juices are clear, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

Next, add 3 cans of great Northern beans, some water, chopped tomatoes, and your favorite salsa. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer, giving it an occasional stir to meld the flavors together, for approximately 1 hour.

Step 3

Once the hour is up, sprinkle in the remaining 2 cans of great Northern beans and a dollop of sour cream. Turn up the heat slightly and let it simmer until the stew thickens, which usually takes around 25 minutes.

Step 4

Finally, serve this hearty dish by ladling it into bowls, and enjoy the warm and comforting flavors that have come together beautifully in this dish.
