This classic white chicken chili is a comforting bowl of warmth, perfect for chilly evenings. Unlike traditional red chilis, this version relies on the earthy richness of cannellini beans and the bright kick of green chilies. The chicken simmers gently in a savory broth infused with garlic and chili powder, absorbing all the flavors until tender. Finished with a generous handful of fresh cilantro, it offers a fresh, herbaceous note that cuts through the richness. It’s an easy weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests, and it tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heavy large Dutch oven, combine 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, diced green chilies, chopped garlic cloves, and chili powder.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the drained cannellini beans and simmer until the chili thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts to the pot.
  6. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally and adding more chicken broth if the chili becomes too thick, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve hot.
