Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (halal)
- 1 (15 oz) can white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed

- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

- Simmer for 10–15 minutes to blend flavors.

Notes
- Cannellini or Great Northern beans both work well in white chicken chili.
- To thicken the chili, mash some beans or simmer a few extra minutes to reduce the liquid.

- Using halal chicken keeps the dish halal-friendly.
- Top with chopped green onions, lime wedges, avocado, or cilantro for extra brightness.
