Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 quart chicken broth
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans white (cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute chicken, green bell pepper, and onion in hot oil until the chicken is browned and the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir jalapeno peppers and garlic into the chicken mixture; continue to cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2
Pour chicken broth over the chicken mixture. Stir salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper into the broth; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.

Step 3
Stir beans and cilantro into the chili, cook until the beans are hot and soft, about 10 minutes.
