Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Base
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced andouille sausage and chopped onion to the pot. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 1 minute.
Adding Ingredients
- Sprinkle in 1-2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, along with salt and pepper, stirring to coat the meat evenly.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, then stir in the rinsed white beans and corn. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil.
Simmering
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, until the chili thickens slightly.
- Add the shrimp to the pot, cooking until they turn pink and opaque, about 5-7 minutes.
Serving
- Serve the chili hot, garnished with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
Notes
You can adapt spices to enhance or mellow the heat. This chili can be made ahead and stored for future meals.
