Instructions

1
In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides.
2
Stir in the garlic, cumin, oregano, ground coriander, and chili powder. Sauté for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.
3
Pour in the chicken broth, add the drained white beans, green chilies, and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
4
For a thicker texture, use a potato masher to gently mash the beans in the pot a few times (about 1/4 of the contents) so the sauce naturally thickens.
5
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt (or cream cheese) and lime juice. Mix until the dish becomes completely creamy. Make sure the dish does not boil again after adding the yogurt.
6
Serve in deep bowls. Optionally garnish with avocado, fresh coriander, and a few drops of hot sauce.
