• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 (15.5-ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced

Directions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are fragrant, about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in the cumin, oregano, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices.

6. Using a slotted spoon, remove about 1 cup of the mixture from the pot and transfer it to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
7. Return the pureed mixture back to the pot and stir well to combine.
8. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice to the pot. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the chili is creamy.
