• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (such as cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 4-ounce cans canned diced green chilies
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 wedges lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the pot and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Shred the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces or thin strips using two forks.

Step 6

Return the shredded chicken to the pot, and add the white beans, chicken broth, diced green chilies, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded mozzarella cheese. Allow the chili to cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
