In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Cook the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic and jalapeno and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add the white beans, green chillies, chicken broth, lime juice, cumin, chilli powder, oregano, chicken, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir and let simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
Ladle chilli into bowls and serve with desired toppings.
Notes
Storage and leftovers
Let the chilli cool completely, and then refrigerate it airtight for up to five days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
You can also freeze this white chicken chilli, which is so nice. The Chef loves doubling up the recipe so they can stash some in the freezer for last-minute dinners.
To freeze, let the chilli cool and transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Label, date, and freeze for up to three months. Defrost in the fridge before reheating and serving.
