Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.

In the same pot, add chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are soft and fragrant.

Return the browned chicken to the pot. Stir in Cajun seasoning, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Pour in diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained white beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the chili to thicken and the chicken to become tender.

Ensure that the chili simmers gently to develop flavors without curdling the sour cream when added.
