For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Any neutral oil can stand in.
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion Shallots work well for a milder touch.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Freshly minced elevates the taste.
  • 3 cups Shredded Chicken Rotisserie chicken saves time.
  • 1 can Diced Green Chilies Fresh jalapeños can spice it up further.
  • 2 cans White Beans Swap with cannellini or navy beans if desired.
  • 1 can Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes Ordinary diced tomatoes will miss the roasted depth.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Vegetable broth is a great vegetarian alternative.
For Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Regular paprika lacks smokiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin Can be skipped if not a fan.
  • Salt and Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; personalize to taste.
  • Cayenne Pepper Optional for added heat.
For Creaminess
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt works as a lighter swap.
