How to make it

  1. Heat 1 tsp oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño, and sauté until soft (about 5-6 minutes). Add the garlic, oregano, and cumin, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken breast pieces, chicken broth, and green chiles to the pot. Season with a little salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks.
  4. Add the white beans to the pot and bring everything to a simmer. Use a spoon to mash a small portion of the beans to thicken the chili. Stir in the corn and shredded chicken, cooking until the corn is heated through (about 1 minute).
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream.
  6. Serve in a bowl and top with avocado, cilantro, chips, or cheese as desired.
