A hearty and flavorful white chicken chili recipe that is perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the saucepan is hot enough to sear the chicken for better flavor.
Add the diced chicken breast to the saucepan and cook until lightly browned.
Cut the chicken into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the beans, chicken broth, green chilies, salt, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before simmering.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined.
Adding the sour cream off the heat prevents it from curdling.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or chopped cilantro.
Pair with tortilla chips or crusty bread for a complete meal.
