Ultimate Creamy Chicken and White Bean Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized chunks,
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil for sautéing,
• A single medium onion, finely chopped,
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin for added flavor,
• A generous 3 ½ cups of water to create the base,
• 1 can of no-salt-added cannellini beans (15.5 ounces), thoroughly rinsed and drained,
• 1 can of mild chopped green chilies (4 ounces), with the juice included,
• 1 packet of Knorr® Rice Sides™ in Herb & Butter flavor for a delicious twist,
• One medium zucchini, sliced after being quartered lengthwise.

Step 1

Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with salt and pepper to your taste. Take a large deep nonstick skillet and heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and onion, ensuring to stir occasionally until the chicken gets a nice light brown color, which should take around 4 minutes.

Step 2

Next, sprinkle in some ground cumin and continue to cook while stirring until the aroma is released, which should only take about 30 seconds. Now, introduce water, beans, and chilies along with their juices into the skillet. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Incorporate Knorr® Rice Sides™ - Herb & Butter into the skillet, then lower the heat and let it simmer covered for about 4 minutes. Toss in the zucchini and continue cooking until the rice reaches the desired tenderness, which should be approximately 3 minutes. For added flavor, consider serving the dish with lime wedges, freshly chopped cilantro, and either fried tortilla strips or tortilla chips.
