Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 4-ounce cans canned diced green chilies
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the diced green chilies, cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Stir in the drained and rinsed cannellini beans and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the chili into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side if desired.
