A sophisticated white chili featuring smoked chicken, heirloom beans, and a vibrant chipotle crema. This recipe utilizes techniques like smoking and homemade crema for a truly exceptional flavor experience.
Smoke Chicken thighs over applewood chips for 2-3 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let cool, then shred the meat, discarding skin and bones.
Heat Avocado Oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Yellow Onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add Garlic, Poblano Peppers, and Jalapeño and cook for 3 minutes more.
Add Homemade Chicken Stock, Cooked Heirloom White Beans, Diced Green Chilies, Toasted Cumin, Chipotle Powder, Dried Oregano, Fleur de Sel, and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add shredded Smoked Chicken to the pot and heat through.
While the chili simmers, prepare the Chipotle Crema: In a small bowl, combine Mexican Crema, minced Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, and Lime Juice. Mix well.
Serve hot, topped with a dollop of Chipotle Crema, Chopped Cilantro, and Diced Avocado.
