Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chicken along with garlic, chives, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 to 8 minutes. Next, add in three cans of great Northern beans, water, chopped tomatoes, and salsa. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, so all the flavors have a chance to blend—this should take about an hour. After that, stir in the remaining two cans of beans and the sour cream. Crank the heat up to medium-low and keep it simmering until the chili thickens up nicely, around 25 minutes. When it’s ready, ladle it into bowls and enjoy!
