White Chicken Chili

Last Updated on March 21, 2024

515 - WHITE CHICKEN CHILI 1There is one good reason—other than chicken and chilies—why I love the white chicken chili on the menu at the burrito palace in our neighborhood: sour cream. This quick-to-make home version is delicious unadorned. Add the accompaniments and some homemade or store-bought cornbread and it is over the top.

Makes 6 servings
Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total Preparation time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup white wine or additional chicken stock
2 pounds ground chicken
Two 15- or 15 1/2-ounce cans cannellini or navy beans, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Accompaniments: salsa, chopped Hass avocado, grated cheese, and shredded lettuce

Directions:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the flour, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne to taste and cook 2 minutes longer. Gradually whisk in the broth and wine; bring to a boil and simmer 3 minutes.

Add the chicken and simmer gently until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the beans and sour cream and cook 15 minutes or until nicely thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the accompaniments.

    Loved the taste of the chilli, but wished the color wasn’t so beige! Also, can you tell me the nutritional values. Thanks.

      Nancy, I agree about the color – that is the one downside of this recipe. Just garnish it with lots of chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley if you hate cilantro). Regarding nutritional value, I don’t have one of those systems to do that. Sorry!

    I am in love with the recipe! Such good taste! I added peppers, tomatoes and more seasoning but over all the smell and look of it was beautiful. Will definitely be keeping this recipe as a go-to. Thank you!
