White Chili with Trader Joe's Sous Vide Chicken Thighs
This easy to make and very flavorful white chili cuts time by using all Trader Joe's ingredients and using their Sous Vide Chicken Thighs to give you perfectly cooked chicken with minimal cooking.
Equipment
- 1 Large Pot
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 large Yellow Onion, chopped
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper, chopped
- 2 tsp Garlic, minced or 2 frozen cubes
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- ½ tsp Paprika
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 2 15 oz Cans of Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 4 oz Cans of diced green chiles
- 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
- 1 Trader Joe's Sous Vide Chicken Thighs or 2 ½ - 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne, salt and a few grinds of black pepper, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken broth, cannellini beans and diced green chiles with their liquid and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring, until the broth has reduced by about half, about 20 minutes.
- Off the heat, use a large spoon to smash some of the beans against the side of the pot. Continue mashing the beans until the broth is noticeably thicker. Smash until desired thickness.
- Return pot to medium heat and stir in the sous vide chicken and corn, and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Juice the lime half over the pot, then taste for seasonings and add more salt, black pepper, and cayenne, if you want.
- Serve chili in bowls topped with whatever you want. Some suggestions are lime wedges, shredded cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, diced avocado, sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro and tortilla chips.
Notes
You can substitute a variety of meats. Trader Joe's has many to choose from including sous vide Turkey and their excellent fully cooked pork belly and their cooked carnitas. Or leave out the meat for a vegetarian meal!
