Add in the shredded chicken and remaining cannellini beans and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chili topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, more cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice and plain Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.
