Method
- Place chicken breasts in a saucepan and cover with water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove chicken, allow to cool slightly, then shred using two forks. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add the softened cream cheese and whisk continuously until it has completely melted into a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, rinsed Great Northern beans, and the can of diced green chiles (with their liquid). Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. The chili should be thick and creamy.
- While the chili simmers, warm your tortillas. Spoon a generous amount of the white chicken chili filling into each warm tortilla. Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: The chili filling can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
Flavor Tip: For a deeper flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts and add a splash of lime juice to the finished chili to brighten the flavors.
