White Chicken Chili Recipe


White chicken chili is one of the best chili recipes that is a bit different from the usualbecause it is not tomato based. White Chicken Chili is a tasty, convenient chili that is week-night easy. It has the added plus of a low fat alternative to the typical chili made with ground beef. White chicken chili is perfect for whatever meal that you are serving, anytime of the day. Anyone who loves spicy foods will surely adore the white chicken chili recipe.


White Chicken Chili Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (I usually use an oven-baked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to save on time), shredded
  • 2 cans Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can (4 ounces) green chilies
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 box (32 ounces) chicken broth
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 lime, juice


How to make White Chicken Chili :
  • In a large pot, saute the onion and cook until it starts to become translucent.
  • Once the onion is done, add shreds of chicken, Great Northern Beans, corn, green chilies (with juice from can), cumin and oregano to the large pot. Stir to combine all of the ingredients and then add the chicken broth.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes to allow the broth to reduce. Add salt and pepper (to taste) and juice from one whole lime. (You can add 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro if you desire. I personally don’t like cilantro so I serve it as a side.)
  • Leave simmering on stove until ready to serve.
  • Serve with sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded Pepper Jack cheese, avocado or tortilla chips.
