White Chicken Chilli
We all love the classic chilli made with beef, kidney beans, tomatoes, and all the traditional chilli spices. But have you tried the white chicken version yet? This comforting, satisfying one-pot white chicken chilli is the perfect autumn/winter dish to warm you up. Made with a flavourful blend of shredded chicken, white beans, jalapeños, and a rich broth, it’s a little spicy, delightfully creamy, and bursting with flavour.
The white beans give it a heartier texture than a traditional chicken noodle soup, the green chillis and jalapeños add just the right amount of spice, and a dollop of sour cream gives it a tangy creaminess that elevates the dish to a whole new level. This meal is even better when you pile on the toppings – who wouldn’t love the addition of crunchy tortilla chips, flavorful cheese and fresh cilantro?
