½ teaspoon chili powder

步骤

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Before starting, chop all the vegetables—onion, garlic, and jalapeno—and gather the rest of your ingredients. Having everything prepped ensures a smooth cooking process.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and jalapeno, sautéing until the onion turns translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and chili powder, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Chicken and Broth

Next, pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the chicken cook through, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: Shred the Chicken

Once the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 5: Thicken the Chili

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour this into the pot while stirring, which will help thicken the chili. Cook for 5-7 more minutes to allow it to thicken.

Step 6: Add Creaminess and Flavor

Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, shredded cheese, corn, cilantro, and the juice of one lime. Let the chili simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is fully combined and the flavors meld together.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

Divide the chili into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes like Cotija cheese, bacon crumbles, tortilla strips, or avocado slices. Enjoy your bowl of creamy Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili!
