Here’s how to create this amazing White Chicken Chili in just a few simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
3. Add the Spices: Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the diced green chiles, white beans, chicken broth, and corn to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Shred the Chicken: While the chili is simmering, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Add Creaminess: After simmering, stir in the sour cream and half of the shredded cheese until well combined. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary. Feel free to add more spices for extra heat.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and topped with the remaining shredded cheese.

Following these straightforward steps will leave you with a mouthwatering bowl of White Chicken Chili that everyone will enjoy.
