Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Season the mixture with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate the spices.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook gently for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let the chili cook for an additional 5 minutes to slightly thicken and add creaminess.

Step 8

Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the white chicken chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of shredded Monterey Jack cheese if desired. Pair with tortilla chips for added crunch.
