Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 6 oz can diced fire-roasted green chilies, not drained
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 4 cup chicken stock
  • 2 14 oz cans green Enchilada sauce
  • 2 15 oz cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup diced cilantro, plus more for garnish
  • 2 tbsp  corn meal
  • Additional garnish: shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes. Stir in diced green chilies and liquid.
  • Add chicken to pot and pour in the stock, enchilada sauce and beans. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer at least 30-45 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked. (Or simmer all day, if you want.)
  • Remove chicken and shred or dice. Return to the pot along with the salt, pepper and 1/3 cup cilantro. Stir to combine then stir in cornmeal just until thickened.
  • Garnish individual bowls of chili with shredded cheese, sour cream and extra cilantro, as desired. Serve with tortilla chips.
