Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast or thighs
  • 2 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 28 ounces white beans drained and rinsed
  • 8 ounces green chiles
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 2 cups bone broth
  • 1 cup full fat coconut cream
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 handful cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Season each side of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until browned and remove from pot.
  • Add oil, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add cumin and green chilies, sauté for an additional minute.
  • Next, add the white beans, bone broth, and chicken bouillon cube. Stir until well combined. Add the chicken back to the pot, bring chili to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let the chili simmer for 20 minutes.
  • After the chili has simmered and chicken has reached a temperature of 165 degrees F, shred the chicken and add it back to the chili.
  • Stir in the coconut cream, corn and lime juice. Taste the chili and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the chili with cilantro and any toppings of your choice.
