Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Optional: Tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese and sliced seeded jalapeno pepper

Method

  1. In a large saucepan, saute the chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until the chicken is no longer pink. Editor's Tip: For quick and consistent cooking, dice your onions evenly and keep them pretty small. Need to work on your knife skills? Stanley Tucci knows how to cut an onion.
  2. Add the beans, broth, chiles, salt, ground cumin, dried oregano, pepper and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the chili from the heat. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream.
  4. To serve, top with tortilla chips, cheese and jalapenos as desired.
