Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for about 4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth, beans, green chilis, chicken, corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the sour cream to a small bowl. Pour about ½ cup of the hot chili into the sour cream and mix until well combined. Then, pour the mixture into the chili and stir until everything is mixed together. This step helps prevent the sour cream from curdling. Enjoy!

Notes

Bonus tip for thickening the chili: If you prefer a THICKER chili, you can add up to ¼ cup of cornmeal at the end!
