White Chicken Chili
White Chicken Chili
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 scallions, chopped, whites and dark green parts separated
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 to 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
-
Johnny's Seasoning Salt (to taste)
- 2 (4-ounce) cans mild Hatch green chiles
- 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 lb. dark meat ground chicken
- 1 (32-ounce) container chicken stock
- 1 (13.5 ounce can) cannellini beans, rinsed
- Sour cream, lime wedges, shredded Cheddar, tortilla chips, chopped avocado, and fresh cilantro for serving
Directions
In a large pot, warm some oil over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the chopped scallion whites, minced garlic, and diced jalapeño. Season generously with Johnny's Seasoning Salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until everything becomes tender, about 4 to 6 minutes. Then, add the green chiles and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the cumin, oregano, and paprika, cooking for an additional 30 seconds to let the spices bloom.
Introduce the chicken to the pot and season it with salt. Stir frequently and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in the stock and add the beans, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow it to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens, roughly 30 to 35 minutes.
Serve your hearty chili garnished with the green parts of the scallions and any other toppings you desire.
