Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 1 diced yellow onion, 2 diced celery stalks, and 1 diced green bell pepper. Sauté the mixture for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion is translucent.
- Stir in 1 can of fire-roasted green chiles, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Cook this for an additional minute.
- Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and increase the heat to bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer once it bubbles.
- Gently add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the boiling broth. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well to combine.
- Stir in 2 cups of white beans and 1 cup of yellow corn kernels. Allow to simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk while continuing to whisk.
- Pour the creamy mixture back into the pot, stirring frequently. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened and creamy.
- Ladle the White Chicken Chili into bowls and top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and jalapeño slices before serving.

Notes
For best flavor, opt for fresh chicken breasts. Adjust spices according to your taste preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
