White Chicken Chili

Makes 6 servings

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½- to ¾-inch cubes

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies, rinsed and drained

2 (14.5-ounce) cans fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

¾ cup frozen petite white corn, partly thawed

1 (15.8-ounce) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons minced cilantro

6 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided, optional

1 green onion, chopped, optional

Pour olive oil into Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink and onion is tender, about 5 minutes; drain.

Stir in chopped green chilies, broth, cumin, oregano and cayenne. Heat to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.

Stir in corn, beans and cilantro; simmer 5 to 10 minutes.

To serve, ladle into bowls and top each serving, if desired, with 1 tablespoon shredded Monterey Jack cheese and chopped green onions.
