Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 can white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  • Stir in onion and garlic, cooking until onion is translucent.
  • Mix in cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Notes

For an even creamier consistency, consider blending a portion of the beans before adding them to the pot. This dish can be prepared a day in advance and reheated, allowing the flavors to deepen and meld beautifully. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper, and serve with tortilla chips or over rice for a heartier meal.
