recip


2. Build the Chili Base

  1. Add the shredded chicken, white beans, corn, diced green chiles, chicken broth, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

3. Add Creaminess

  1. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, breaking it up with a spoon until fully melted and incorporated.
  2. Stir in the sour cream and lime juice until the chili is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4. Serve and Garnish

  1. Ladle the chili into bowls.
  2. Top generously with crumbled cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  3. Optional: Add crushed tortilla chips, sliced avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flair.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas on the side for scooping.
  • Pair with a crisp green salad or Mexican street corn for a full meal.
  • Add a dollop of guacamole or pico de gallo for extra freshness.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by shredding pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking raw chicken.
  • Adjust the Spice: Start with one jalapeño and taste before adding more. If you prefer milder heat, skip the seeds and membranes.
  • Make Ahead: This chili tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for Later: Freeze the chili (without the sour cream) for up to 3 months. Stir in the sour cream when reheating.
