Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a dutch oven or large pot.
- Soften diced onions and peppers in the oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, white kidney beans, mild green chilis, corn, diced chicken, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
- Cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and cilantro.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Notes: Green bell peppers can be substituted for poblanos.
- Consistency: If you'd prefer a thicker white chicken chili, remove the lid after 15 minutes and simmer uncovered.
- Flavor: Add more chili powder or diced jalapenos for a spicier kick. Experiment with different types of beans, such as black or pinto beans for a new twist.
- Chicken: Mix it up by using chicken thighs or shredded rotisserie chicken instead of diced chicken.
- Toppings: Top it with shredded cheese, diced avocado, crushed tortilla chips, corn chips, or sour cream.
- Slow Cooker: This recipe is also great in a slow cooker, cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. Thicken by mixing 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Stir in 15 minutes before serving.
- Keep leftover easy white chicken chili covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 8 weeks.
