A creamy, hearty, and flavorful white chicken chili recipe that comes together in just 30 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans (cannellini or great northern beans)
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in ground cumin, oregano, and chili powder, cooking for another minute to bloom the spices.
  3. Add the canned green chilies, white beans, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  4. Remove about 1 cup of the bean mixture and blend it until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. Return the blended mixture to the pot to create a creamy base.
  5. Add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, or diced avocado if desired.

Notes

[‘Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.’, ‘Bloom the spices in oil to enhance their flavor.’, ‘Blend a portion of the beans for a creamy texture without heavy cream.’, ‘Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more chili powder or jalapeños.’, ‘Garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, lime wedges, or diced avocado for added flavor.’]
