Equipment
- Large Pot
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cans great northern beans 15 oz each, rinsed and drained
- 1 can corn 15 oz, drained
- 1 lb chicken breast cooked and shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese cubed
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in Cajun seasoning and let it bloom in the oil for 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth, beans, and corn. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in shredded chicken and reduce heat to low.
- Add cubed cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more Cajun spice as needed. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
Make it your own: swap in rotisserie chicken for ease, or try cream-style corn for added sweetness. To reduce heat for kids, simply use less Cajun seasoning. For extra richness, stir in a splash of half-and-half before serving.
