This top-rated white bean and chicken chili is packed with hearty beans, chunks of chicken and tender shoepeg corn. The fresh lime juice, green chilese, cilantro and cumin all contribute to the Southwestern-style flavor. Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
8 skinned and boned chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces |
3 cups water |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
4 (15-ounce) cans cannellini or great northern beans, rinsed, drained, and divided |

1 (16-ounce) package frozen shoepeg white corn |
2 (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chiles |
3 tablespoons lime juice |

Directions:
1. Sauté chopped onion in hot oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 7 minutes; add garlic, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes.
