Over medium heat add 2 Tbsp. olive oil to the large Dutch oven or soup pot. Once hot add cubed chicken breast, diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté, stirring frequently until the chicken is no longer pink.
Add cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and green chilies. Mix and stir to evenly coat the chicken in the spices.
Add all remaining ingredients and stir together well to combine. Cover with lid and let the chili simmer for 15-20 minutes until warmed through and chili has thickened.
Serve and top with optional toppings like cilantro, jalapenos or crushed chips.
