5-Ingredient White Chicken Chili

This 5-Ingredient White Chicken Chili is a warm, comforting soup made with leftover rotisserie chicken, great northern beans, salsa verde, cumin, and chicken broth. It offers a lightly spiced, hearty, and smooth chili that cooks quickly and is garnished with fresh cilantro for brightness, ideal for a simple meal requiring minimal ingredients.

Description

The 5-Ingredient White Chicken Chili combines tender diced rotisserie chicken with creamy great northern beans in a salsa verde and seasoned chicken broth. Ground cumin adds subtle warmth to this chili, which is gently simmered until heated through, keeping flavors fresh and distinct. The use of salsa verde provides mild tangy and green chili flavors without overwhelming heat.

The texture is hearty yet light compared to traditional red chili, with soft beans and bite-sized chicken pieces in a flavorful broth. Fresh cilantro added before serving contributes a herbaceous note that complements the gentle spices.

This chili can be served as a soothing lunch or dinner soup, easy to prepare with pantry staples and leftover chicken. It is a practical recipe for a quick homemade meal without complex steps or ingredients.
