Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, diced
Beans
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
Seasonings & Dairy
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken and onion: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and stir to combine, allowing the chicken to warm through.
- Add beans and seasoning: Pour in the drained white beans and sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients with the seasoning for a balanced flavor.
- Simmer with cream: Slowly stir in the heavy cream, then reduce the heat to low. Let the chili simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until heated through and flavors meld together.
Notes
- Use homemade or store-bought cooked chicken.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning according to your spice preference.
- To make it thicker, simmer longer or add a small amount of corn starch slurry.
- Serve with toppings such as shredded cheese, fresh cilantro, or sliced green onions.
- This chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
