Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 cup chicken broth
- 2 cup white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aroma.
3. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the drained and rinsed white beans, shredded chicken, and frozen corn. Stir well and bring the chili to a simmer.
4. Reduce the heat and let the chili simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the ingredients to become perfectly tender.
5. Stir in the heavy cream, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
6. Ladle the Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili into bowls and top with crumbled Cotija cheese, extra cilantro, and lime wedges for a complete Mexican street corn experience.
Notes
For a spicier kick, you can easily adjust the heat level by adding diced jalapeños or a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce. Alternatively, for a vegetarian version, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the chicken.
