Creating Irresistible Cajun White Chicken Chili is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and shred it after cooling slightly.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add Ingredients: Stir in the drained white beans, corn, chicken broth, diced green chilies, Cajun seasoning, and cumin. Mix well.
4. Simmer: Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5. Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or sour cream) and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. Garnish: Remove the pot from heat. Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
