Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded or diced vegan chicken (such as soy-based chicken strips, seitan, or jackfruit)
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans or Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn kernels, drained if using canned
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Spices and Seasonings:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened.
  • Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the cumin, coriander, oregano, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using), and cook for another minute to toast the spices.
  • Add the vegan chicken, white beans, green chilies, corn, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the chili is creamy and heated through.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings like fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding the coconut milk.
  • For a spicier dish, increase the cayenne pepper or add diced jalapeños.
  • This chili can be served with a side of rice or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
