The Best White Chili Recipe
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (15.5 oz.) cans great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 oz.) can chicken broth
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 Tbsp. butter
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Saute the chicken, onion and garlic until the chicken is cooked through.
Mix the great Northern beans, chicken broth, green chiles, salt, cumin, oregano, black pepper and cayenne pepper into the chicken mixture. Bring it to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the flavors have blended, about 30 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with about 1/4 cup of water. Put it in the pan and bring it to a boil until the chili is thickened.
Remove from the heat and add butter, sour cream and whipped cream.

This was fabulous. I ate 3 helpings. I hate when people change the recipe but I did not have any green chili’s but I did have salsa verde, used that and hoped it would be good. It was delicious. Thank you for this recipes

I made this 4x this winter and my family loves it. So yummy! 2nd time and after I only use 1 jar of the chilies and felt it was the right amount for us.

Am I correct in guessing that the heavy cream (without whipping it) is just added along with the butter and sour cream at the end, or do you need to whip it for some reason?
Jill says
No you don’t need to whip it – it just makes the soup creamier
Susan says
Is this able to be made and then kept warm in a crockpot for lunch after church? I wasn’t sure with the heavy cream and sour cream if that would separate or not. I’d love to make it for tomorrow. Thanks!
Jill says
Susan you can keep this warm in the crock pot. All you need to do is to just stir in the butter, sour cream and whipped cream right before they start serving things
