Very easy to make creamy White Chicken Chili with hardy beans, flavorful chicken, and a rich, creamy broth. This recipe is one of my favorites because it’s so easy to make on those busy weeknights or weekends! I bet you already have a lot of the ingredients on hand so you can go ahead and pull them out and let's get to cookin!

White Chicken Chili

I heard about this recipe during an afternoon tea chit chat with one of my girlfriends. She told me it was one of her weekly meals on rotation and that her family was obsessed with it so I obviously had to make it.

You can make this recipe year round, but I think it's a little better when it starts getting a little cold outside. There's something about this chili that warms the soul and it's so good after a long day, parked on the couch under a comfy blanket.

When my friend first told me about it, I honestly didn't think I would like it as much as I liked traditional chili but boy was I wrong. There's something about the way the flavors of this chili blend together so beautifully with the tender chicken, and that creamy rich broth just soothes the soul. I honestly like it way better than traditional chili now and I think everyone in my family does to.
