• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 yellow onions, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
• 1 lb lean ground chicken
• 1 (7 ounce) can roasted green chilies, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
• salt and pepper, to taste
• chopped cilantro (optional)
• shredded cheese (optional)
• diced onion (optional)
• sour cream (optional)
• sliced jalapeno (optional)

directions

1. Heat the oil in a large pot on medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Raise the heat to medium high and add the chicken pieces, ground chicken, chilies, and spices. Saute until the chicken is mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the chicken stock and beans, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer.
4. Cook the chili, uncovered, for 20 minutes--or longer if you have the patience. Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with your choice of garnishes.
