Share:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 pounds chicken cut into bite-sized pieces (I use a combination of chicken breast and thighs)
- 2 Jalapeno peppers diced (optional, for spicy)
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 roasted green peppers (poblano, Hatch, Anaheim, or others) diced (or use 2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies)
- 2 cans White beans (drained - 16 ounce cans)
- 2-3 cups chicken stock (Use 2 cups for thicker chili)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder (I love a mix of chili powder blend and ancho powder)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne (use paprika for milder)
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- hot sauce to taste
- FOR SERVING: Crumbly white cheese, spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped parsley
For Creamy White Chicken Chili
- 8 ounces cream cheese (or use heavy cream or sour cream)
Instructions
- To a large pot, add the oil with the chicken, onion and peppers. Saute about 5 minutes, or until they become tender and the chicken is mostly cooked through.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add in the beans, chicken stock, and seasonings. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for at least 20 minutes. You can easily let it simmer for an hour to let the flavors develop even further.
- Stir the cornmeal into the chili and simmer about 10 minutes to thicken if desired.
- Serve!
For Creamy White Chicken Chili
- If you prefer CREAMY White Chicken Chili, swirl in the cream cheese (or sour cream for a lighter version) during the last 5 minutes of simmering until well incorporated.
Notes
- Heat Level: Mild-Medium. You can easily spice this up with hotter chili peppers, though there is some heat here.
- Corn is a popular addition. Don't forget the hot sauce.
