How to Make White Chili Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1-2 serrano chilies, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 red bell pepper, chopped. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of whole kernel corn, drained, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, and 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess).
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
  5. Add 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced. Heat through for another 3 minutes.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings such as sour cream, avocado, or shredded cheese. Enjoy with a side of rice or crusty bread!
