Ingredients

For White Chicken Chili

For Toppings (optional)

    Directions

    This chicken chili is hearty, flavorful, and perfect for cozy nights. Tender chicken, smoky spices, and creamy broth come together to create a rich, comforting base. White beans and sweet Mexican corn add texture and balance, while a swirl of heavy cream and sour cream makes the chili luxuriously smooth.

    Step1

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced white or yellow onion and 2-3 diced jalapeños, adjusting the amount to your preferred level of heat. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, 5-7 minutes.

    Step2

    Add the cubed chicken to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 to 7 minutes.

    Step3

    Add in ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 3 teaspoons chili powder, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly, then cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring often, until the spices and garlic are fragrant.

    Step4

    Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    Step5

    Stir in 2 cans of drained and rinsed white beans along with 1 can of drained Mexican corn. Continue cooking until the chili thickens about 5 minutes.

    Step6

    Once the chili has thickened, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in ¼ cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup sour cream until fully combined.

    Step7

    Spoon the chili into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream, sliced jalapeños, shredded sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, fresh chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced green onions.

    Step8

    Enjoy!
