- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 to 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in 2 cups of chicken broth, the drained Great Northern beans, the undrained mild green chiles, the diced chicken breasts, 1 cup of corn kernels, and all the dry spices.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and allow the pot to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk ⅔ cup of sour cream with about ½ cup of the hot chili broth until smooth to prevent curdling.
- Stir the tempered sour cream mixture back into the pot before serving.
