A rich and spicy white bean chili infused with bold Cajun seasonings and a velvety cream base.


Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken breast, diced or shredded
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh lime juice for garnish
Chopped cilantro for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until no longer pink.
Step 2: Add chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 3: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add Cajun seasoning, cumin, paprika, and oregano, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables.
