Ingredients

Scale
  • Proteins:
    • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
  • Vegetables:
    • 1 cup diced onion
    • 1 cup diced celery
    • 1 cup diced bell pepper
    • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (or keep seeds for extra spice)
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Broth and Beans:
    • 4 cups chicken broth
    • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1/2 cup salsa verde
  • Seasonings:
    • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, divided
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Creamy Base:
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Garnishes:
    • Fresh lime juice
    • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
    • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Sauté the Meats:
    • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
    • Cook the andouille sausage until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
    • Add chicken to the same pot, season with 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside with the sausage.
  • Cook the Vegetables:
    • Melt 1 tbsp butter in the pot. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
    • Stir in garlic, the remaining 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, and cumin. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Build the Soup:
    • Pour in chicken broth, white beans, and salsa verde. Stir well.
    • Return sausage and chicken to the pot. Simmer for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  • Add Creaminess:
    • Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and Parmesan cheese until the chili is smooth and creamy.
  • Serve and Garnish:
    • Ladle into bowls. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and top with cilantro, parsley, and green onions.

Notes

  • For extra heat, leave the jalapeño seeds in or add more Cajun seasoning.
  • Adjust the thickness of the chili by adding more broth if needed.
