Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, stirring until they soften and become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: Add the cooked shredded chicken, drained white beans, corn, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Simmer the chili: Increase the heat until the mixture begins to simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add creaminess: Just before serving, stir in the Greek yogurt or sour cream for a creamy finish. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with optional ingredients like sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness.
