Step-by-Step Instructions for White Cheddar Apple Chicken Chili
- In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped apples and diced white onion, then sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chili powder and ½ teaspoon of ground cumin. Cook for 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the sautéed apple-onion mixture from the pot and transfer it to a bowl.
- In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in ¼ cup of flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
- Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add 1 cup of half & half and cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Add 2 cups of chopped rotisserie chicken and the sautéed apple-onion mixture back into the pot along with 1 can of drained cannellini beans. Stir until combined.
- Slowly mix in 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese until melted and incorporated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes
For best results, layer flavors and use fresh spices, and don't rush the roux step. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
