Step-by-Step Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the seasoned chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pot and let cool before shredding.
- In the same Dutch oven, add chopped onions, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and sliced jalapeño. Stir frequently over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and aromatic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add drained white beans along with an additional sprinkle of Cajun seasoning. Return shredded chicken to the pot; stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Let the chili simmer covered over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to check for desired thickness.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream until fully melted and incorporated. Add lime juice to brighten flavor.
- Ladle into bowls, garnishing with chopped cilantro, additional jalapeños, and lime wedges. Serve hot.
