Easy 30-Minute Homemade White Chicken Chili — Hearty, healthy, loaded with tender chicken, and packed with bold flavor!! Fast and easy comfort food that everyone loves!! It’ll be on rotation all winter!!
The BEST White Chicken Chili Recipe
Chili is the ultimate fall and winter comfort food. Who can say no to a bowl of warm, thick chili that’s loaded with tender chicken and hearty cannellini beans?
This white chili recipe was some of the best chili I’ve ever had and is now in our rotation. It’s robustly flavored from sweet Vidalia onions, jalapeño peppers, and green chilis.
It’s so easy and ready in 30 minutes. No need to stand over a simmering pot for hours. Many ingredients get tossed into the pot all at once and in no time this hearty, healthy, and comforting chili is ready.
My family loved this easy white chicken chili, and I love that it’s ready so quickly and with very minimal effort.
Like all chili, it tastes better the day or two after you make it and the flavors marry, making this a perfect make-ahead meal. Make a batch over the weekend and you can enjoy it during the week.
Or you can stash half of it in the freezer for nights when pulling something out of the freezer for dinner is all you can muster.
White Chicken Chili Ingredients
For this white bean chicken chili recipe, you’ll need:
- Olive oil
- Yellow onion
- Jalapeño
- Canned green chiles
- Garlic
- Chicken broth
- Shredded cooked chicken
- Cannellini beans
- Lime juice
- Dried herbs and spices
- Fresh cilantro
How to Make White Chicken Chili
Add the olive oil to a large stockpot or Dutch oven and sauté the onion, chiles, and jalapeño until softened. Add the garlic and continue cooking until fragrant.
Dump the remaining ingredients into the pot and bring to a boil. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the cilantro.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with tortilla chips, cheese, cilantro, and / or sour cream.
How to Make Chili Thicker
I prefer my white chicken chili to be fairly thick. To achieve this, I blend about 1 cup of the cannellini beans in a food processor to make a bean paste of sorts. This gets added to the white chili to make it even heartier.
For a super thick chili, let it simmer uncovered for longer than the recipe calls for.
How Long is Chili Good For?
This white bean chicken chili will keep airtight in the fridge for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Can I Make The Chili In A Slow Cooker?
I’m sure you ‘could’ but I don’t see the point because it’s ready in 30 minutes. Why lengthen an already rapid cooking time is my question? You’re just lengthening (and complicating) the amount of time it will take from start to finish for you to be enjoying this fabulous chili.
If you want to keep it warm in a slow cooker for an event or something along those lines, go for it. But prepare it on the stove as written is my advice.
Tips for Making White Chicken Chili
This white bean chicken chili has mild to medium kick, but you can make it spicier by using the jalapeno seeds or by adding more red chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
To save time, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken that you have on hand. Of course, you can roast or pan sauté chicken if you’re so inclined.
Make sure to salt your chili to taste. I use low-sodium chicken broth, low-sodium beans, and add a bit of salt to the chili so I can control the overall salt level. The saltiness of low-sodium broth, beans, rotisserie chickens, and personal preferences for salt all vary so salt to taste.

Easy 30-Minute Homemade White Chicken Chili
This white chicken chili is hearty, healthy, loaded with tender chicken, and packed with flavor!! Fast and easy comfort food that everyone loves!!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, peeled and diced small (about 2 medium/large onions)
- 1 large jalapeno pepper (about 4 to 5 inches long), diced very small (the seeds are where the heat is concentrated; included or discard them based on preference)
- 7 to 8 ounces canned green chiles, don’t drain (I used mild heat)
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
- 32 ounces (4 cups) low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken (use about 1 whole storebought rotisserie chicken to save time; or roast or cook your own chicken in a skillet)
- two 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (see step 4 below about blending 1 cup of the beans with a splash of chicken broth or water)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely minced
- tortilla strips, chips, crackers, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and/or sour cream; all are optional for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm.
- Add the onion, jalapeno, green chilis, and sauté for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir intermittently.
- Add the chicken broth, chicken, cannellini beans including whole beans and blended bean mixture (take 1 cup of the beans, add to a food processor or blender, add a splash of chicken broth or water and blend until smooth; mixture should be thick.
- Add the blended bean mixture along with the whole beans to pot), lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, red chili flakes, optional cayenne pepper, and bring to a boil.
- Allow mixture to boil gently for about 7 to 10 minutes. It’s unlikely, but if at any point the overall liquid level looks low or you prefer your chili to be thinner, add 1 cup of water or as desired; you’ll adjust the salt and seasoning levels at the end. For thicker chili, allow mixture to boil longer and reduce until desired thickness is reached.
- Add the cilantro and boil 1 minute.
- Taste chili and add salt to taste. This will vary based on how salty the chicken broth, beans, and rotisserie chicken are, and personal preference. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (i.e. more salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne, lime juice, etc.).
- Ladle chili into bowls, and optionally garnish with tortilla strips, chips, crackers, avocado, cheese and/or sour cream; serve immediately.
Notes
- Chili will keep airtight in the fridge for 5 to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

My question didn’t go to your comment section. I’ll try again.
I was about to make your White Chicken Chili recipe, it looks SO good. I stopped when I saw a sodium amount of 4395mg. Is that for eight servings and not one? I need to watch my sodium intake, but I REALLY want to try this recipe. Please let me know what is driving it up so high so I can try to modify your recipe and still make it. Thank you.
All nutritional info is computer generated and provided as a courtesy only. If you use low or no sodium products, it’s very unlikely the sodium level is as high as is being suggested now.
Made this tonight. Delish! I added grated zucchini and carrots – always try to add extra veggies. I actually followed the recipe otherwise which is something at which I do not excel. I almost always go rogue on recipes especially soup. But this one is pernearly (my grandmothers word for pretty nearly) perfect.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that this was pretty near perfect for you!
Go to chicken chili recipe in our home! DELICIOUS and easy to make!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad to hear it’s your go-to chicken chili in your house!
This is the 4th tome I’m making this and it’s always a hit! I love how quick it comes together with so few ingredients. I always trust a recipe from Averie, they never fail!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad this is always a hit and that it comes together easily for you! I really appreciate what you said too about my recipes, that they never fail. I truly appreciate that because that is my goal and I test them and write them in a way that I just hope everyone has success!
I cooked my chicken in a crockpot with cumin and chili powder. It was delicious and I think next time I’ll add great northern beans too!
Glad it was delicious!
This was easy! Chop, sauté, mix, boil DONE. It had heat but not overbearing. Thank you for another great and EASY dish. All day crockpot was usually how I’d cook this bit now I’ve got alternative .
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it was great for you and that now you don’t need to wait around all day on your Crockpot :)
It looks lovely… I’m going to try it tonight, I’m curious about the reheating instructions though, in the UK we’re generally discouraged from reheating chicken more than once, though perhaps it differs around the world! I’d be interested to know.
We aren’t too concerned with that in the US (at least not anyone I know). I would portion the leftovers of this chili in individual serving containers, store in fridge, reheat as needed throughout the next few days.
So…I’ve made this so many times now that I decided I should actually review it. It’s so good that my significant other actually has asked me to make this dish, specifically, every few weeks or so over this past fall/winter. The only change I make is I don’t add the cilantro because I’m not a huge fan of it, though I’m sure it’s probably great with it included. Try it…you’ll love it!
Thanks for the 5 star review and for taking the time to review it after you’ve made it many times – glad it’s a hit!
Are the nutritional numbers correct on the white chicken chili recipe? 7033 mg of sodium, 967 calories??
it’s been updated
Hi,
This looks delicious. I’m curious about the nutrition info though..does that include all the optional toppings? Its hard to believe a chicken chili recipe with no cream or cheese has that much fat and calories in one serving.
Thanks!
I’m also curious about this. 967 calories per serving? Wow.

Outstanding! I just made this & I added a little cornstarch to thicken the liquid a bit more. The taste is phenomenal! I did leave some of the jalapeno seeds in as I like a nice spicy dish & this is definitely it!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad that it was sufficiently spicy for you and it turned out outstanding!
Hi there!
This looks delicious. Would it be possible to do this in a crockpot? Thanks!
Kristen
Maybe but since it’s such a fast and easy stovetop recipe a CP to me would just unnecessarily lengthen and complicate it. Although feel free to experiment and see how things go for you.
I am going to make this recipe tonight but what if I don’t have a Dutch oven?
Make it in a heavy large pot then.
Awesome recipe!! It came out perfectly I didn’t have to make any adjustments. Thank you, my son loved it!
Thanks for the five star review and glad it turned out perfectly with no adjustments!
Hi Averie,I made Your recipe last night, it was hit with my family.I’m always looking for healthy quick recipes to make for myself and family.Because I’m usually training for a marathon or two. This dish is going on my food prepping recipes for sure.It’s definitely a great recovery meal after a long run or training session. Thank you for your recipe.I look forward to fueling my body and feeding my family, with more of your quick recipes.Happy eating.Kim
Thanks for the five star review and I’m glad this was a hit for you and your family! I am an avid (distance) runner and wish you the best in your races!
Not a review-yet. Wondering if you have tried making this in the instant pot and if so how long did you put the pressure on?
No because it’s only a 30 minute recipe. I don’t see the point of the I.P. in this situation since it’s already such a fast recipe, why bother. Also I created this recipe in 2015, long before the IP was on anyone’s horizons. Make it as written, you will love it.
This was super tasty, thank you! My only question is have you ever adapted the recipe for a pressure cooker? I just got an instant pot over Christmas and would love to cut down the shredding and cook time by putting a chicken breast in the pressure cooker with the beans, broth, etc.
Thanks for the five star review and I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
No I have not because honestly I find it more work to use a pressure cooker (in general) when it’s a 30 minute recipe normally. Yes you do have to shred chicken and I’m sure your could quickly roast your own and shred it, but for soups like this I use rotisserie store bought that I shred in no time at all.
This recipe looks fantastic and I’m definitely trying it out soon. My only question is what vegetables might go well in this chili? I know chili doesn’t traditionally have veggies, but I’m trying to get more veggies in my meals.
I would do corn, mushrooms, bell peppers, chile peppers, extra beans, or something you think sounds good.
I have found so many great recipes from your site, and I really love easy ones like this! I don’t usually make changes to recipes and rate them, but I feel this one tiny change was harmless. My husband hates to eat chicken in soups and stews because he thinks the texture is “stringy”. I love it myself, but I’m all about making dishes my husband will eat and he’s not a big soup/stew eater, so this was a WIN. I substituted the shredded chicken for ground chicken. Everything else was exact to the recipe and it was fantastic! We enjoyed your White Chicken Chili with a pan of Mexican cornbread. Love this and it’ll go on my ‘Successful Pinterest Recipe’ board. Thank you for posting tasty, easy recipes for our busy lives!
Thanks for the 5 star review and I’m glad you’ve been finding recipes that work for you and that are tasty and easy – that is my goal with everything I post!
Made this tonight and it was absolutely awesome! My hubby loved it! Will definitely make it again! Yum!
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad you will make it again!
So easy and flavorful! This is a favorite of ours!!
Thanks for the five star review and I’m glad this is a favorite of yours!
This is amazing!! Thank u for sharing :)
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad it’s amazing for you!
Just made this to bring tailgating. My husband loved it, chili turned out delicious.
Glad your husband loved it and it turned out delish!
I made this recipe. I made some minor changes due to not having all the ingredients. It was good.
Thanks for the five star review and I’m glad that it worked out for you.
It was great! Thanks so much. We Added cream cheese to thicken it,and we always add it to most chili. My kids said yummy.
Thanks for the 5 star review and glad the cream cheese worked well for you!
I have been searching for a yummy chicken chili and I found it, thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for the five star review and glad your chili search is over!
My husband and I are obsessed with this recipe and make it very frequently. We cut out the jalapeño and add corn to suit our tastes!
Thanks for the five star review and glad this is a frequent obsession in your rotation!
Amazing! Sometimes we add an extra can of beans for a really thick chili and serve over rice. Yum! My kids love it too!
Can’t go wrong with extra beans and rice! Glad this is a hit with the kids too!
Is this a soupy type chilli or a thick one?
Thicker but you can thin it out with extra chicken broth if you want.
Absolutely delicious!! My whole family lived it; which is crazy! Even my picky daughter had seconds🙂. Definitely a keeper!
Glad this is a keeper for you!
Sooooo good! One of my husbands FAVORITE meals I’ve made and (he doesn’t even like beans usually)
Well that’s amazing then! Glad it’s a favorite!
Wonderful , flavorful Sunday afternoon / evening meal.
We added another can of cannelloni beans (blended 1 can & 2 cans whole) and blended a head of steamed cauliflower with one can of beans and broth which added texture and thickened the chili.
Definalty will make again soon.
The blended steamed cauliflower sounds like a great little trick! I’m glad you loved the chili!
Can I use this in a crock pot? Can’t wait to try it!
I’m sure you can but I haven’t so I can give advice about it.
I made this tonight and it was incredible! The flavor was so balanced and wonderful. I also added white corn just because, and it was a welcome addition. Can’t wait to make this again!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! The corn sounds perfect!
I just wanted to say I made this last night with a roasted turkey breast from Costco and it was delicious! Slight substitutions – I used 3 cans of beans instead of 2, and one of the cans was Bush’s Beast White Chili Beans in Chili Sauce, which is what I blended (1/2 can). I also used a serrano pepper instead because I like them. I avoided the red chili flakes and cayenne as between the spiced beans and the serrano she had plenty of heat. Served it up with sour cream and Mexican cheese blend – divine!
When (definitely when!) I make this again, I plan to blend the whole can of spiced beans as I prefer more of a thick chili, and cut down to maybe 3 cups of broth as well. That was my only complaint on the first batch was it was just a bit too soupy for me. Otherwise I’m not changing a thing!
Sounds like it was a success overall and yes, the thickness of chili is definitely a personal preference and you can always cut back on the broth and/or blend up the beans to your liking.
This was so delicious! I have made it a couple times now and I won’t try another white chicken chili recipe. A rotisserie chicken breast made this so quick and easy that it doesn’t have to be a weekend recipe. Made it after work in only about half an hour. We ate it with a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese and light sour cream. So good!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you and that you won’t cheat on the recipe :) I love using rotisserie chicken too for this soup because it makes it truly do-able as a weeknight easy meal!
Super duper delicious! This is going to be in the regular rotation! We loved it! Thanks
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Glad it’s going into rotation!
Made this tonight and the flavor and everything was great! My only suggestion would be to add the shredded chicken maybe in the last 5 mins or so of cooking. I used a is series chicken and shredded it and it got very very shredded and mushy. Maybe I shredded too small? Either way next time I will be adding it later on. Great recipe though, it’s not often to find a recipe that has the spices down perfectly.
Meant to say used a rotisserie chicken lol
I think you shredded it a bit too finely. I keep mine pretty chunky that’s for sure. Glad you enjoyed the recipe overall!
I made this chili last night and we loved it!! It was not only easy to make but also incredibly filling and delicious. I can’t wait to have leftovers this week :)
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you!
This is simply amazing. I loved this chili. It was honestly a breeze to throw together, simmer and devour! When I pureed the beans, I added the garlic cloves in too and I think it made it have an overall warm garlic flavor that was really lovely. I also used a rotisserie chicken and, boy, was this chili chock full of beans and chicken! Great, high protein dish. I calculated the calories for this recipe using the brands I used and it was roughly 260 calories (if you’re serving ten) without any added sour cream, cheese, avocado, etc. Thank you so much for this great recipe!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Good call about the garlic, too! And thanks for the cal count. That’s helpful and good to know pretty darn low!
Had this pinned for forever and was waiting for the slightest chill in the air to make it. OMG, so good. I had to run to an appointment so I sauteed the onions and garlic then threw the rest in the crock pot on high for about two hours. I was in between making this & a creamy white chicken chili and I’m so glad I chose this. So light and clean, but hearty and filling at the same time! I threw in a few Laughing Cow Cheese white cheddar wedges to give me a little of that “creaminess” I wanted and it worked perfect! My boyfriend loved this too, he literally had the bowl to his face getting every last bit AND had seconds. We both took to work today for lunch and I think it may even be better as leftovers :)
Thanks for trying the recipe and glad it came out great for you! Love the Laughing Cow idea!
This was absolutely delicious, I accidentally misread and put a full can of the beans in the food processor instead of just one cup but it worked! Very healthy too, we felt good after eating it. Definitely a keeper, thanks so much!!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Full fan of beans and all :) It’s a very flexible and forgiving recipe. Glad you felt good and healthy afterwards!
I made this white bean and chicken chili the other night. Easy to make and the whole family loved it! The addition of the lime really set if off.
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you!
I made this tonight for dinner and it was delicious!! Subbed salsa verde for the green chilis, slight variations on spices…my husband and I loved it! Thank you for sharing this recipe :)
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Glad the salsa verde worked great!
Absolutely Fabulous! I’ve been wanting to try a chicken chili recipe for a couple years! Glad I chose this one.
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you!
Too much pepper. Reduce it to 1/2 teaspoon.
As with any recipe when it comes to salt and pepper, always season to personal taste.
SO good. Made this tonight for myself. Will definitely make this again.
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Glad you’ll make it again!
I made the 30 min white chicken chili last night. It was absolutely delicious! Thanks for this easy and tasty recipe! Will make it again for sure! Though it is more like an enchilada soup, it is nonetheless totally delish!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you!
What are the calories of this, anyone know, serving size etc?
There are links in this post that will help answer your question.
https://www.averiecooks.com/faq
I made this recipe with rice instead of beans, and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be using this again.
I love the rice idea! I’ve never had the beans needed for this. I was wondering what else I could use! Thanks for the idea!
Nice ideas……..looking forward to more….
For ur info, I am an 82 year old geezer who loves to cook and have been looking for some receipes that won’t take forever and a day.
This looks deelish and I can’t wait to try it. I have one suggestion: add your cumin to the oil heating up before the onions are even added. Sauté until you smell its deliciousness, like 30 sec or so. The hotter oil releases the flavor of the cumin. You won’t regret it!
Never tried a chicken chili before. Went in search of recipes using shredded chicken and found this. One look at the picture and I was hooked. My husband was skeptical as he peered into the pot, but one taste and we were all like “WOW”. This is a keeper for sure! I served with salsa verde, sour cream and crumbled hint of lime chips. Having leftovers today for lunch!
Thanks for trying the recipe and glad it’s a keeper now! The salsa verde, sour cream and crumbled hint of lime chips sound like excellent additions!
I tried this for the first time tonight and have now found my go-to white chicken chili recipe. It was fast and had a lot of flavor, the whole family loved it!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Glad it’s your new go-to white chicken chili recipe!
I made this w/ leftover smoked turkey breast from Thanksgiving, and it was fantastic. Great flavor change-up from the regular Turkey Day leftovers. Thanks :)
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! Great idea and way to use up that extra turkey!
Can I make this in the slow cooker?
Probably so, but I haven’t tested it that way so can’t say for sure how it will turn out, what modifications will be necessary, etc.
I made this Monday and it is delicious and even better the second day. A great hearty, healthy chili.
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! I agree, gets better the second day! (most chilis do I find)
I just made this for dinner and it was great! The whole family love it. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you!
Comment from the hubby arriving at home tonight … “Something sure smells good!” I was torn between making this and your chicken tortilla soup, so I compromised and made this but baked the tortilla strips like you did for the other soup. This will definitely join our soup repertoire!
Love hearing comments like that when someone walks through the door! This one is great and so is the tortilla soup but great way to compromise with the strips on this one! Glad it’ll be in your repertoire!
Just made this while my baby was napping. Super easy and absolutely delicious!! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it came out great for you! I remember those golden moments while a baby napped and when I could get things done from laundry to pre-cooking dinner, etc. it was just glorious! Glad things worked out for you!
Hi Averie,
I made the chili. The flavor was good. And of course there had to be something sweet to follow so I made your glazed banana bread bars. :) P.S. Thank you for replying to my question about where to find mascarpone cheese!
Thanks for trying the chili…and then for making dessert :) Glad you’re happy with the chili and that you can hopefully now find mascarpone cheese!
Do you happen to have nutrition information on the White Chicken Chili? How many servings? Thank you.
I don’t have nutrition info and as far as servings go, I’d say about 8 to 10 bowls but it really depends on the size of the bowl, how hearty the appetite is, etc.
YUM! loveeeee chicken in any way, shape or form!
Averie,
I can’t wait to try this chili. I love chicken chili. Pinned.
Annamaria
Thanks for pinning!
I can forget about chili for many months of the year, but when fall comes around I could eat it all day every day. I actually prefer chicken chili to beef varieties, so this version is officially a must-try for me. <3
Thank you for sharing the recipe, that looks very good! By the way, you’ve got great food photography skills!

Yum! 30 minute meals are my love language during the week! We’ll be trying this really soon!

We are very big fans of chili and this looks amazing, so I`ll definitely try it. It`s very different and I`m sure that this will be very delicious. Thank you
This looks like the perfect dish for the warm chilly nights we’ve been having where I live! Can’t beat a yummy soup that you can make in 30 mins!
This looks delicious! I can’t wait for soup and chili weather. I want it every day when it’s cold!
It just started cooling off here and getting crappy and rainy the past week. Up until about 5-6 days ago, it was still mid 80s every day!
I love chili (or chilly…) weather precisely for this reason….to make delicious chili’s and soups! This looks and sounds delicious, great recipe Averie :)
You’d think I’m partly Mexican in heritage, because I consider THIS to be my version of the “chicken noodle soup comfort food” I love, absolutely LOVE, white chicken chili. And I don’t even love chicken that much. Come to think of it though, this would be a stellar use of leftover turkey after Thanksgiving! Hmmm….may have to put that in the back of my mind…
I think we’re the same person :) And yes it would be great with leftover turkey!
I’ve been looking for a good white chili recipe–looks like I’ve found it! :)
Awesome, LMK if you try it!
This looks like such a hearty and comforting chili! And the line and green chilies really lol like they’d give it a nice kick.
I love that this chili recipe uses chicken! Great choice for cool evenings and looks delicious!! Pinning!
Thanks for pinning!
Just learned how much I love white chili! Once I tried white chicken in chili, there’s no going back to beef. What to use this for our Fall Fest white chicken chili contest (yes, there is such a thing and yes, ok, I’m swooning here, my 3 year old won the coloring contest.) Next year, I’m bringing this chili!
If you bring this, LMK how things go! And I love white chili, too!
The white chili recipe I tried in my early 20’s made me realize I didn’t care for copious amounts of white pepper. This, however, looks like something I’d love. I have the day off and could easily pick up the few things I need. I impulsively grabbed cannelini beans on sale a few days ago thinking I’d find something to do with them…..it didn’t take long!
How serendipitous about the cannelini beans on sale! If you try this, LMK how it goes! Regardless, enjoy your day off :)
And white pepper is something I rarely use because calling for it on my blog is a guarantee for people to write in, but I don’t have that and do I really have to go out and buy it…
I enjoyed my day off and found my go-to white chili recipe! We loved it–just enough heat with a little creaminess from the pureed beans (my favorite soup thickener). The best part was that it’s quick and easy–just what I needed today!
Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad it’s your new favorite white chili recipe!! That’s awesome! And leave it to you to make something the very day I posted it! Thanks, Paula!
Wow. I do love chili. Looking at your pictures of this white chicken chili made me so hungry. Yum.
Ooh this chilli looks delicious and I love that it uses cooked chicken. Great for using up a Sunday Roast chicken! I’ve made regular chilli with diced chicken, but I’m going to have to try this white version. Yummy! Sammie
Perfect for using up a Sunday roast chicken!
