White Chicken Chili

This is a delicious feel-good meal.  It's perfect for cool nights and it actually comes together really quickly and it's even better the next day.

I realized that I totally forgot to take a picture after it was all done cooking - so this picture I took is prior to the sour cream and whipping cream being added.  Still looks good, though! :)

Brent and I actually prefer this recipe over the white chicken chili with quinoa, but that one is still pretty good, too.  That one's just not as "chili" like.

Here's what you'll need:


  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream




  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, onion, and garlic into the hot oil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Mix Great Northern beans, chicken broth, green chiles, salt, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into chicken mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove chili from heat; stir in sour cream and whipping cream until incorporated.  Check the temperature, if it needs to be warmed up a little more, turn the heat to low and stir until heated to desired temperature.
