This easy white chicken chili recipe is even better the next day like my Classic Chili Recipe or this Easy Chili Recipe. The flavors blend so well together, loaded with all your favorite toppings. Served with a side of my Honey Cornbread.

Why this recipe works

It’s the perfect way to use leftover chicken or grab a rotisserie from the grocery store making this a quick and easy dinner the whole family will love. It’s made in one pot like my Potato Soup and my Chicken Tortilla Soup making clean-up a breeze!

Ingredients needed

Ingredient notes

• Chicken: Chicken thighs or shredded chicken breasts work great. Or grab a rotisserie chicken.
• Corn: Fresh corn, frozen or canned works fine.
• Beans: I like cannellini beans but you can use northern white beans or navy beans.
• Green chiles: They provide just a little heat and add tons of flavor.

Chili Toppings

I like to top this creamy chili with Monterey Jack cheese or pepper jack cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or tortilla chips.
