Simple White Chicken Chili in a Single Pot

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
• 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried chives
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 bay leaf
• 5 (14.5 ounce) cans great Northern beans, divided
• 14 ½ fluid ounces water
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
• 1 (12 ounce) jar salsa
• 1 cup sour cream

Step 1

Lightly heat some olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the chicken along with the garlic, chives, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

Add three cans of great Northern beans, water, chopped tomatoes, and salsa to the pot. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer gently for about an hour, stirring occasionally so all the flavors meld together nicely.

Step 3

After that, stir in the remaining two cans of beans and some sour cream. Turn the heat up a bit to medium-low and let it cook for another 20 to 25 minutes until the chili thickens up a bit.

Step 4

Finally, scoop the chili into bowls and enjoy!
