White chicken, also known as “white chicken chili” or simply “white chicken,” is a creamy and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a comforting meal. Here’s a recipe for a classic White Chicken Chili:

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (such as cannellini or Great Northern beans), drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
• 2 cans (4 oz each) diced green chilies
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt, to taste

For Garnish:

• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
• Sliced avocado
• Tortilla chips
• Sour cream
• Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
   • Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Add the cubed chicken to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the Flavorings:
   • Stir in the ground cumin, oregano, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and smoked paprika (if using). Cook for another minute to release the spices’ flavors.
4. Add the Chilies, Beans, and Broth:
   • Stir in the diced green chilies, white beans, corn, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Simmer the Chili:
   • Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
6. Add Creaminess:
   • Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and lime juice. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.
7. Serve:
   • Ladle the white chicken chili into bowls and top with your desired garnishes, such as chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado slices, tortilla chips, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, you can add a can of cream of chicken soup along with the chicken broth.
• If you prefer a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
