Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups chicken stock
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Two 15-ounce cans white beans
Two 4-ounce cans mild chopped green chiles
Serving suggestions: chopped cilantro, sliced scallions, chili-lime corn nuts, tortilla chips, sour cream, sliced radishes, pickled jalapenos, avocado, grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack, chopped bacon, shredded cabbage
Directions
- Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, jalapeno, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the ancho powder, coriander and cumin and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a brisk simmer. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, add the beans and their liquid to the pot with the broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer about half of the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Return the blended liquid to the pot and add the green chiles. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Meanwhile, shred the chicken. Add the chicken back to the chili and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the chili with an assortment of toppings.
