Equipment

  • Large pot

Ingredients

For the Chili

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded adds protein and heartiness
  • 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed provides creamy texture
  • 1 can corn, drained balances spices with sweetness
  • 1 can diced green chilies adds zesty kick
  • 1 onion, chopped brings depth of flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced adds warmth to the chili
  • 4 cups chicken broth creates rich base
  • 1 teaspoon cumin adds warmth and earthiness
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder gives traditional chili flavor
  • salt and pepper for seasoning

For the Creaminess

  • 1 cup sour cream adds creaminess
  • 1 cup shredded cheese melts for cheesy finish

Instructions

How to Make Easy White Chicken Chili

  • Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Next, add the shredded chicken, white beans, corn, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, and chili powder into the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chili to thicken slightly.
  • After simmering, stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese. Mix until the cheese is completely melted and the chili has a creamy consistency.
  • Taste your chili and season it with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  • Ladle the hot chili into bowls, and enjoy this comforting dish with your favorite toppings, like avocado or cilantro, if desired.

Notes

For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice right before serving. Avoid overcooking after adding the sour cream and cheese to prevent curdling.
