21 EASY White Chicken Chili Recipes

If you’re looking for the perfect meal for those busy weeknights, try any these 21 EASY White Chicken Chili Recipes!

White bean Chicken Chili is a great alternative to traditional beef chili when you really want some comfort food but like a creamier option. It’s a great recipe to use up some leftover rotisserie chicken the next day. And it tastes phenomenal served up with some tortilla chips and fresh cilantro. *Chef’s kiss!* 

Because it’s a little milder than other chili (we love using mild green chiles) it’s a great option if it’s your first time making chili for your family.

Besides being an easy meal, it uses pantry staples you probably already have on hand. It’s a great way to use up that can of pinto beans, black beans, navy beans, cannellini beans, even great northern beans you’ve got sitting in your pantry. Its one of our favorite recipes to use up all those hearty beans that is still a family favorite. We add our favorite toppings and it hits the spot any time of year.

How is White Chicken Chili Different Than Classic Chili?

White chicken chili is like a cozy hug in a bowl! Unlike traditional chili, white chili is loaded with tender chicken, hearty white beans, and a zesty blend of spices like ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Picture a fiesta of flavors dancing together, with a touch of heat from green chilies. Many recipes use cream additions like cream cheese, sour cream, or heavy cream. It’s like regular chili’s cooler, creamy chili cousin. 

How To Store Leftover Chili

​If you don’t finish your entire creamy white chicken chili recipe, you can store it for another day. Let it cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or you can store in the freezer for up to three months!

We are sure the BEST white chicken chili recipe is on this list. So, grab your tortilla strips, some shredded chicken, and let’s get cooking!
