Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn kernels, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced green chilies, cannellini beans, great northern beans, corn, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the chili simmers, prepare the cornbread dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Remove the lid from the simmering chili. Drop spoonfuls of the cornbread batter onto the surface of the chili.
  9. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
  10. Season the chili with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute other white beans like navy beans or Great Northern beans for cannellini beans.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped bell peppers or zucchini to the chili.
  • If you don’t have cornmeal, you can use an equal amount of all-purpose flour for the dumplings, but the texture will be softer.
