Instructions
- Heat Oil and Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion, diced jalapeno, and corn. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Add Chicken and Beans: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, rinsed cannellini beans, and diced green chilis. Stir to combine.
- Season and Add Liquids: Stir in dried oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, chicken bouillon with water (or chicken broth) and the heavy cream. Mix well.
- Simmer: Let the chili simmer gently for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream to give the chili a creamy texture and rich flavor. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the chili hot topped with your choice of chopped fresh cilantro, diced jalapenos, Monterey Jack cheese, tortilla strips, or other desired toppings.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or cook and shred chicken breasts if preferred.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper amount to control the heat level.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though cream adds richness.
- Simmer gently to prevent the sour cream from curdling when stirred in at the end.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated on the stovetop.
