Super Bowl Recipes: Smoky White Chili With Grilled Chicken
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups chopped yellow onion (2 large)
- Two 7-ounce cans diced green chiles
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or to taste
- Six 15-ounce cans great northern beans or white cannellini beans, rinsed
- 8 cups (2 quarts) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup lime juice
Instructions:
→Heat a grill to medium-high.
→In a Dutch oven or other large pot over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chiles, cumin, oregano and chipotle chili powder. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Stir in the beans and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
→Meanwhile, grill the chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side until well-browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees when inserted at the thickest part of the breast. Transfer to a cutting board and cool for 10 minutes. Cut the grilled chicken into ¾-inch dice, then set aside.
→Using a ladle, transfer 2 cups of the beans and cooking liquid to a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir the mashed beans back into the simmering pot. Add the chicken and lime juice, then cook for 10 minutes more.
