Chicken and White Bean Chili

This white bean chicken chili recipe is one my family really enjoys. It's a light, spicy soup that's great in any season. For spicier tastes, add more cayenne or your favorite hot sauce. Serve with crackers, Cheddar cheese, or sour cream.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 jalapeno peppers, minced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 quart chicken broth

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans white (cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken, bell pepper, and onion; sauté until chicken is browned and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in jalapeños and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Pour in chicken broth, then stir in salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
