The Best White Chicken Chili Recipe
We love making this chicken chili recipe in the farmhouse. Hearty, cozy, filling, and easy to throw together on a chilly evening. It's a staple dinner in our home.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 3 ounce can diced green chiles
- 14 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 14 ounce can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels
Instructions
- Heat a large pot or stock pot over medium heat. Add the butter.
- Once melted, add the onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the minced cloves of garlic and sauté for another minute, then add the taco seasoning and sauté for about 30 seconds.
- Add the green chiles, tomatoes, raw chicken breasts, and broth to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on medium to low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the pan and shred in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and ½ cup of the broth from the pan. Whisk until completely smooth.
- Add the softened cream cheese and shredded chicken back to the pot along with the beans and corn.
- Stir and bring to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes
- Double the batch to make for a tasty meal prep option to eat during the week!
- Shred the chicken in a stand mixer to save on time. This is a great hack and a lot easier than shredding with a fork.
- The recipe calls for raw chicken breasts but you can also use rotisserie chicken, or extra leftover chicken that is already cooked to save an extra step.
