Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
  • 600g medium pasta shells
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded if desired, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (or more) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 200g Gouda, shredded (about 2 cups), divided
  • 200g white cheddar, shredded (about 2 cups), divided
  • 2 rotisserie chicken breasts, shredded
  • 1 (400g) can great Northern beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen white corn
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1 - Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to package directions, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 2 - In a large, high-sided, cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook onion and jalapeño, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 7 minutes; season with 1/2 tsp. salt. Add garlic, paprika, and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Step 3 - Add butter and cook, stirring, until melted and foamy. Add flour and cook, whisking frequently, until dissolved and toasty smelling, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4 - Add broth and cream, whisking until no lumps remain. Bring to a low simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 1/2 cups Gouda and 1 1/2 cups cheddar, stirring until melted. Fold in chicken, beans, corn, and pasta; season with salt and pepper. If skillet seems dry, add more broth, if needed. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup gouda and 1/2 cup cheddar over.

Step 5 - Transfer skillet to oven and bake chili until golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with cilantro.
