It calls for a generous scoop of sour cream, resulting in a comforting and creamy chili that's hard to resist. The best part? You can make it in just three easy steps. Read on to learn how!

Ingredients for white chicken chili

Tip

You can use rotisserie chicken for this recipe. Alternatively, if you'd like to cook the chicken from scratch, you'll need 1 pound of boneless and skinless chicken breasts. Boil, bake or fry the chicken until cooked and shred with your fingers.

Step 1

In a large pot over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Cook the onion for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender and golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Step 2

Add the shredded chicken, broth, white kidney beans, corn, chiles and spices to the pot. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, mixing frequently.

Step 3

Add the sour cream (and heavy cream, if using). Mix until the broth is opaque and creamy. Taste the chili and add more spices and sour cream, if you'd like. You can even toss in a few handfuls of spinach for an extra punch of nutrients.
