How to Make Cozy Creamy White Chicken Chili for Two

Start by dicing the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chopping the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper finely.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and onion, sautéing until they soften, about 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic for another minute until fragrant.
Toss in the chicken pieces and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
Mix in the white beans and pour in the chicken broth. Stir thoroughly and bring everything to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, mixing well until it’s fully combined and becomes luxuriously creamy.
Ladle the chili into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeños. Enjoy this heartwarming dish!

Serve with warm cornbread for extra comfort.
