## 👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. **Sauté aromatics**: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and coriander; cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

2. **Add chicken and veggies**: Stir in the shredded chicken, green chiles, beans, corn, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

3. **Simmer**: Reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken slightly.

4. **Add creaminess**: Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring until smooth and creamy.

5. **Finish and serve**: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired.
