Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 cups (32 g) chicken broth
- 2 cups (330 g) frozen corn
- 1 can (15 ounces) great northern beans, drained
- 3 cups (420 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded
- ¼ cup (32 g) cornstarch
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 ½ cups (345 g) sour cream
- ½ cup (56.5 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, about 1 lime
- salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- queso fresco, crumbled
- 1 medium jalapeño, diced
- fresh cilantro, chopped
- tortilla strips
Instructions
- To a large Dutch oven (or other heavy-bottomed pot) over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, oregano, chili powder, and cumin. Stir and cook for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- While the broth is heating, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot and shimmering, add the frozen corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the broth is simmering, stir in the beans, shredded chicken, and charred corn.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the chili. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, shredded cheese, and lime juice until fully incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm, topped with queso fresco, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and tortilla strips, if desired.
