Creamy White Chicken Chili

Creamy White Cheicken Chili in a blue bowl.My sister-in-law, Mari, makes a really good Creamy White Chicken Chili. I am super excited to share her easy recipe and hope that you love it as much as our family does. We are big fans of anything we can dip corn chips in.  If you’re not into White Chicken Chili, try this Award Winning Chili recipe! 

Whenever we visit Mari she makes this soup and the pot is always licked clean at the end of the meal. She always serves it with avocado, cheese, and corn chips. The avocado really compliments the flavor of this yummy soup. I highly recommend adding it! 

Chili is one of my favorite dinners in the winter. Not only is it simple to throw together, but Chili is such a comforting meal. I also love that it packs a big punch of protein and fiber, so not only is it comfort food, it’s healthy!

Step by step pictures of how to make Creamy White Chili Tips for making Creamy White Chicken Chili
  • Drain and rinse your canned beans.
  • Use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken (my sister-in-law uses canned chicken to make it really fast). 
  • If you like a thicker chili, use an extra can of Great Northern Beans and blend them in your food processor or blender before adding to the soup. 
  • In place of canned chicken broth, you can use one and a half cups of water with one and a half teaspoons of chicken bouillon. 
  • If you have small children that will be upset to see the onion, grate it or put it through your food processor to make it less visible. If you do that, you can also add the green chilis to hide them, too. 
  • In place of sour cream, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt.

    This chicken chili recipe is seriously my favorite! I’ve taken it to potlucks and we’ve had it when company has come over, and it is just so good! It’s a regular at our house, except I just put in one can of green chilies since two of my kids are pretty sensitive to spice. We love adding the chips and avocados, along with homemade pico. So delicious! #Aprilgiveaway
