Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add the cubed chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. (4 minutes)

03

Step
4 mins

Add the chopped onion and minced jalapeño peppers to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and translucent. (4 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it is fully incorporated and there are no lumps.

05

Step
2 mins

Add the rinsed and drained navy beans, green enchilada sauce, chicken broth, dried oregano, chili powder, and ground cumin to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

06

Step
35 mins

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 25 minutes, or up to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

07

Step
5 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chili powder for a spicier kick, or a squeeze of lime juice for added brightness.

08

Step

Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro leaves, and a dollop of sour cream.

For a smoother chili, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the chili after simmering.
Feel free to substitute canned great northern beans or cannellini beans for the navy beans.
If you don't have green enchilada sauce, you can use a combination of salsa verde and a touch of sour cream.
For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
To make this dish in a slow cooker, add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
