Creamy Chicken Chili
Instructions
In a large kettle or Dutch oven sauté the chicken, onion, and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in sour cream and whipping cream. Ladle into bowls, garnish with chopped, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve and enjoy! When reheating, reheat slowly. If the heat is too high, the cream will curdle.
