Creating your own batch of White Chicken Chili is simple—just follow these steps to achieve the perfect bowl of comfort:

1. Prepare Chicken: In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the pan and shred the chicken, then set aside.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same saucepan, add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute until fragrant.

3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the shredded chicken, white beans, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Mix everything together.

4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add Creaminess: After simmering, stir in the sour cream and cream cheese until completely blended. It should yield a creamy texture.

6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

7. Serving Time: Once everything is heated and flavors melded, it’s time to serve!
