2 cans white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
1 unit onion, diced

Method

Preparation

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Cooking

Stir in the shredded chicken, white beans, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the chili simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the Greek yogurt until well combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Serving

Serve hot, topped with optional cilantro, avocado, and lime.

Notes

For a thicker chili, consider mashing some of the beans in the pot before adding the yogurt. Can be made in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours. Makes excellent leftovers.
