Thick and rich, chili is the definition for comfort. It’s a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken.
White chicken chili is a richer twist on the traditional chili, offering a creamier alternative bursting with flavor. This comforting dish features tender chunks of chicken, white beans, and a medley of aromatic spices from Latin Heat seasoning. The star of the show is the creamy broth, we like to use sour cream, but you can also use cream cheese.
What makes white chicken chili stand out is its versatility—you can customize it to suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a mild version for a family-friendly meal or crave a spicier kick, this dish caters to all palates. With its quick and easy preparation, white chicken chili is a go-to option for busy weeknights, offering a satisfying and heartwarming meal that will leave your taste buds wanting more.
