Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a dutch oven or large pot.
  2. Soften diced onions and peppers in the oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth, white kidney beans, mild green chilis, corn, diced chicken, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  4. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and cilantro.
  6. 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.
