One-Pot Creamy Chicken Chili – EASY & QUICK
A richly flavored, creamy chicken chili made in one pot with tender chicken, beans, corn, and aromatic spices. Perfect for a quick, cozy weeknight meal that’s hearty and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken, diced
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sauté for 5 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Add the white beans, corn, chicken broth, cumin, and chili powder to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or shredded cheese.
Notes
Marinate the chicken in spices for an hour for extra flavor.
Add jalapeños or cayenne pepper for heat.
Let chili simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
Leftovers develop deeper flavor overnight. Swap chicken with mushrooms or extra beans for a vegetarian version.
