A wonderful friend of mine recently brought me lunch and we let our kids run around like crazy after eating their mac and cheese while we savored our delicious fare. And let me tell you, it was SO delicious. She made an incredible white chili. I am a huge fan of white chili and have had my share of really great white chili recipes. It is no exaggeration to say that this recipe makes it to the very top of that list. It is creamy, perfectly spicy, and just absolutely phenomenal. This will be making a frequent appearance at our dinner table. Thanks, Tori!
Creamy White Chili
from Tori M.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon oil
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies (if you like less kick, add just one can)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
In a large saucepan, saute chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately. This is especially good served with tortilla chips. Makes about 6 servings.

This soup looks great - I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow! And I think we'll be having sugar gems for dessert - great website, I'm glad a friend passed this along to us.
I love this kind of chili! This version sounds and looks great!
Mmm, Ilove white chili too. I"ll definitely be trying this recipe this Fall!
Wow, this sounds absolutely delicious! I have actually never tried white chili but it is on my list to try very soon. This will be the recipe I try for sure, you haven't let me down yet!
Ive never had white chili before. Im bookmarking this one
i love spicy beef chili with plenty of kidney beans, but sometimes a white chili hits the spot, too. this looks like a terrific recipe, and since it's on your blog, i'm sure it is. :)
Mmmmmmm..I make pretty much this same recipe as well..but I add sharp cheddar cheese to it!!!YUMMO!
Yours looks nice and comforting!!
Tried it, loved it. I blogged about it today. Thanks again for another great recipe.
We had this for dinner and loved it, Nate ate like 5 servings and he kept saying "this is so good, this is so good" so you won your brother's approval!
I made this for dinner last night. With a few changes and it still turned out great! I didn't have great northern beans so I used pintos (which were really yummy!) and I only had one can of green chilies and we like a lot of heat, so I used that one can and then some salsa verde. I didn't have whipping cream so I left it out and added more sour cream. And then I added a can of white hominey. It was soooo good! My 3 year old had seconds and my husband ate every last bit! He loved it! Thanks for a great base recipe!
MyCozyCreations - wow - those sound like great additions to the recipe. Way to improvise!! I'm so glad your family liked it and I may have to incorporate some of those same changes next time I make it. Thanks for letting me know how it went over!
Just made this recipe tonight and blogged on it - thanks for a "keeper" meal!
Bunny Wilson - thanks for commenting back and letting me know you made this. I'm glad you liked it - I think it is a keeper, too, and am glad my friend shared the recipe with me!
I have this EXACT recipe and have been using it for MONTHS. I have an allergy to spice though, so I cut out the red pepper... Oh, and you really ought to try boiling and shredding the chicken sometime. Oh. My. GOODNESS! I LOVE it with shredded chicken! (BTW- I just found your site today and I am LOVING it! Those Cinnamon Rolls look heavenly!)
That's awesome, Pam, that it is the exact same recipe!! I bet the shredded chicken is awesome. I'll try it like that next time, I think. Thanks for commenting!!
New poster here. Just made this for dinner tonight. This..was...DELICIOUS!!!! Love your blog! Will be making many more of your recipes!!! Thank you!!!
This is a fantastic recipe! My friend shared this same recipe with me 2 years ago and I have been using it ever since. I took this white chicken chili to a chili cook-off and won "Most Kid Friendly!" (LOL) I guess because it wasn't as spicy as some other chilis there. It was gone in about 10 minutes! My kids love it!
Camille - thanks for commenting!! And I am really glad you liked the soup. It is a real winner in our family, too. Thanks for your kind words!
Sarah - I've heard from several people they have similar recipes to this one. It looks like it is a hit with lots of people. My friend who gave me the recipe will love to hear that!
Melanie--Almost a year ago Amanda told me about your awesome food blog. We have tried so many of your recipes and loved them all! Thank you so much--we owe many a delicious meal to YOU:-) I hope you don't mind...but I've also told so many family and friends about this blog. You are a great lady Mel--I can tell you're an amazing mom, wife, person, and baker!
Wendy! It's fun to hear from you. I have to confess that I check out your family blog via Amanda's now and then for an update. What a cute family! Anyway, thanks for letting me know you like the recipes here - that is sweet and I don't mind at all if you pass the word along. It is just a fun hobby for me!
Well you dont know me and I dont know you, but after i ate this chili and a church function tonight (and got my very picky 3 yr old to eat alot) I am sold! The lady who made it gave me this link to your site, and i already have it copies down to make tomorrow! You are my new best friend!
Ash - thanks for making me laugh - you seem like the type I WOULD be best friends with...especially if you can give me tips on helping a picky 3-year old eat. Thanks for checking in!
Melanie- I made this for the first time last night. It is actually for dinner tonight but I had to make it in advance in the interest of time. I had a small bowl when I was done and I LOVED it. It was sooo good. Thanks yet again for another wonderful recipe! I think I'll make your Blitz Bread to go with it.
Bentley Family - just having you comment on this recipe makes me think I should make it tonight. I think I will since I didn't have anything else planned! I'm glad you snuck a taste and liked it!!
I made this today and it was AWESOME!
I didn't have cumin or cayenne pepper, so I omitted those, and it still turned out absolutely delicious! Thanks for the wonderful recipe. :)
Hi Ali - way to improvise with what you had on hand - I'm glad it still turned out delicious! Thanks for letting me know.
I've made this twice in the past couple months...when I made it this week, my husband and I fought over the leftovers. Next time I am going to double the recipe, so we have more leftover! Thanks for sharing the recipe :o)
