1 ½ teaspoons cumin
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2–2 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
2 (15-ounce) cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté for 7–8 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and green chiles. Cook 2–3 minutes.
Add cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Add 2 cups chicken broth, beans, corn, and Greek yogurt. Stir well.
Simmer for several minutes to blend flavors.
Scoop out 1–1½ cups of the chili and blend until smooth. Return to pot.
Stir in shredded chicken and simmer 10–15 minutes on low.
Add additional broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
Stir in lime juice before serving.
Serve with cilantro, avocado, jalapeños, and tortilla chips.
Notes
For extra thickness, blend up to 2 cups of the chili base.
For more heat, add cayenne or fresh jalapeño.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
Freeze up to 3 months (best texture if frozen before adding yogurt).
To make in a slow cooker, sauté aromatics first, then cook on low 6–7 hours or high 3–4 hours.
