Cooking Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  2. Season whole chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Sear in the pot for about 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, add drained white beans and green chiles. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
  4. After about 20 minutes or once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks before returning it to the pot.
  5. Let the chili simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Serve warm garnished with fresh cilantro or avocado slices.
