Instructions
Warm the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and sauté, stirring often, for 7 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and oregano, and sauté for another minute. Stir in the white beans, chicken, corn, green chilies, chicken broth, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to continue simmering, partially covered, for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, blend the butter and flour. Add the mixture to the chili and stir until it thickens, about a minute. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Add more broth to thin the chili, if desired.
Stir in the cream. Serve hot, topped with cheese, cilantro, and lime juice, and enjoy!
