Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Chicken Chili.
Step 1
Start by heating a pot over medium heat and adding in your chopped onion and celery.
Step 2
Sauté these aromatic veggies for about five minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant.
Step 3
Next, toss in the chopped garlic and let it cook for another two minutes, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully.

Step 5
Now, stir in the chopped green chilies, followed by a generous sprinkle of chili powder and one can of cannellini beans.
Step 6
Let this mixture simmer for about five minutes, giving the ingredients time to meld together into a delicious harmony.

While that’s cooking, take the second can of cannellini beans and mash them in a bowl until they reach a creamy, paste-like consistency.

Once your pot is bubbling with flavor, add the mashed beans to the mix, along with a splash of chicken stock and your cubed, cooked chicken.
