How to Make Cozy Creamy White Chicken Chili for Two
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by dicing the chicken into bite-sized pieces, and finely chop the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a medium pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic for an additional minute.
  3. Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for around 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken turns a lovely golden brown.
  4. Combine Beans and Broth: Add in the drained white beans and chicken broth, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Cream: Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and stir gently until the chili reaches a creamy consistency.
  6. Serve: Ladle the warm chili into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or jalapeños.
