Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken and Onion: In a large pot, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced 1 ½ pounds of chicken and the chopped 1 medium onion. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle the 1 ½ teaspoons of granulated garlic powder over the chicken and onion while they cook.
2. Simmer the Chili Base: Add the drained 3 cups of beans, 1 ¾ cups of corn, 2 cups of chicken broth, ⅔ cup of chopped green chiles, the optional 4 ounces of cubed cream cheese, and all the spices (1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Create the Creamy Finish: Remove the pot from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the ½ cup sour cream and ½ cup heavy cream until smooth. Ladle about ½ cup of the hot broth from the pot into the sour cream mixture and whisk again until it’s fully incorporated.
4. Combine and Serve: Pour the sour cream and heavy cream mixture back into the pot and stir well to combine everything. Serve the chili warm, topped with your favorite garnishes.

Enjoy this comforting and creamy chili!
