White Chicken Chili
Description
The recipe starts by combining chicken broth with drained beans, shredded cooked chicken, and diced green chiles. The spices include cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper, which impart a subtle, earthy warmth. Simmering the ingredients gently melds the flavors and heats the chili through.
Just before serving, shredded Monterey jack or Mexican blend cheese and sour cream are stirred in, melting into the chili to add creaminess and a mild tang. This finishing step creates a richer texture and mellow flavor balance. The chili can be slowly cooked in a slow cooker as an alternative, adding cheese and sour cream towards the end to prevent curdling.
White Chicken Chili pairs well with cornbread or tortilla chips and can serve as a filling main dish. The recipe allows for leftovers, which store refrigerated for a few days or freeze for extended keeping. Proper storage helps preserve its flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3-4 (15.5-ounce) cans great northern bean drained and rinsed
- 2 cups chicken shredded, cooked
- 1-2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chiles
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- black pepper dash
- 2 cups Monterey jack cheese or Mexican blend cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine broth, beans, chicken, green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and pepper over medium-low heat. Simmer for 20–30 minutes, or until soup is heated through.
- Before serving, add cheese and sour cream and stir until cheese is melted and ingredients are mixed.
Notes
- For slow cooker use, cook all ingredients except cheese and sour cream on low for 1–2 hours; add cheese and sour cream and continue cooking 30–60 minutes until melted.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated for 2-3 days or freeze up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers.
- Refer to guidelines on freezing soups for best reheating results.
