Ingredients
• Two tablespoons olive oil
• Green onion finely chopped
• Four cloves garlic minced
• Two pounds chicken breast or thigh meat diced
• Two cups cooked white beans such as cannellini or navy
• Four cups homemade chicken stock
• One cup oat milk
• One teaspoon rosemary minced

• One pinch saffron threads warmed between fingertips
• One small piece habanero added whole and removed before serving
• One teaspoon ground cumin
• One teaspoon coriander

Cooking Instructions:
• Warm the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the chopped onion and stir gently until it turns translucent and soft.
• Add the minced garlic and allow it to bloom in the heat for a moment before stirring in the diced chicken. Cook until the chicken begins to brown lightly on the edges.
• Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander and smoked paprika to coat the chicken and vegetables. The spices will darken and release their aroma.
• Pour in the homemade chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the rosemary basil saffron threads and the whole piece of habanero.
• Allow the chili to simmer uncovered for twenty to thirty minutes so flavors can combine and the saffron can tint the broth.
• Stir in the cooked white beans and reduce heat to low.
• Add the milk or cream and allow the mixture to warm through without boiling. Remove the habanero.
• Finish with salt and pepper to taste then ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro or parsley. Serve with lime wedges for a bright touch.
