Ingredients for White Bean Chicken Chili:

• Chicken– I prefer breasts (bone-in works too) but you can also use thighs.
• Seasonings– Cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Yellow Onion– These are the best variety of onions to use when used in a dish that cooks for a long time.
• Beans– You can use any white bean (navy, great northern, cannellini, baby lima) but I prefer great northern. Feel free to use a mix.
• Corn– I highly recommend fire roasted (Trader Joe’s is amazing!) but regular frozen or from a can works too.
• Green Chilies– I use mild and still find it has plenty of heat. If you don’t like much heat, use only a 4oz can of mild. If you like things hotter go up a level.
• Garlic– Fresh crushed garlic is always recommended but you can use jarred or powder (1/8 teaspoon for each clove).
• Chicken Broth– You can use canned/boxed stock or water mixed with bouillon. I always use Better Than Bouillon and have found it most affordable at Costco.
• Sour Cream– Adds creaminess and cuts some of the heat.
• Heavy Whipping Cream– Adds more creaminess. Can be substituted with half-and-half.

Toppings for Chili:

• Avocado– Sliced or made into guacamole.
• Cheese– Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, cheddar, white cheddar…
• Chips– tortilla chips or Fritos.
• Cilantro– Adds so much flavor and freshness.
• Jalapeno– For those of you who can handle the heat!
• Lime– A little squeeze of lime juice is never a bad idea.
• Sour Cream– The more cream, the better!

How to make White Chicken Chili:

TOOLS USED TO MAKE THIS CREAMY WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE:

• Slow Cooker– This is very similar to the one I use but it has the addition of a lockable lid which is awesome for when you are transporting food for a party or potluck, especially soup.
• Cutting Board– I love having various sizes of cutting boards and these are awesome because they won’t slip and slide around on the counter.
• Mesh Strainer– I love these mesh strainers and use it all the time. The middle size one is the perfect size for straining a can of beans and rinsing them off.
