Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- If not already cooked, cook the chicken breast in a pot of boiling water until fully cooked, then shred it with two forks.
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- Spray a large pot with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the shredded chicken, great northern beans, cannellini beans, diced green chilies, and chicken broth to the pot.
- Stir in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Simmer the Chili:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add Creaminess:
- Stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt and lime juice, mixing well to combine. This will add creaminess to the chili without adding many points.
- Serve:
- Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
