You know what I always think is funny?
That chili is called chili. Because it sounds like “chilly” and it is definitely NOT a chilly food.
Then again, you do eat it when it’s “chilly outside” so I guess that makes sense?
Whatever. We are saying chili way too many times in this post already, so let’s move on.
This healthy chicken chili recipe is a little different than the low carb keto turkey chili, smoky and sweet turkey chili and keto chili in the Instant Pot in the sense that is a LITTLE bit less thick and chunky as a “traditional” chili.
BUT, it still has all the spicy chili vibes that your mouth expects at the promise of chili and it’s wholesome and nourishing and pretty much the best dinner for these cold nights!
What is White Chicken Chili?
You know those days in the winter when you’re just chilled to the bone and can’t seem to warm up for the life of you? Chili, to me, is like a big warm hug on a cold day, and it’s PERFECT for those kinds of days. We’ve heard of ground turkey sweet potato chili and no bean whole30 keto chili– the ones that are rich in tomato sauce and ground meat- but today’s healthy white chicken chili puts a fun new spin on the classic! Its base is chicken broth instead of tomatoes, and includes delicious cannellini beans and aromatic spices that envelop tender chicken to make the coziest bowl of goodness! You and your crew are going to be obsessed- trust me.

This chili’s flavor is absolutely BOMB and really does shine all on its own, but you know I’m never going to say no to toppings!

White Chicken Chili FAQDoes White Chili have the same flavor as regular chili? White chili has a lighter base, chicken broth, giving it a savory taste. A lot of the same spices are used in tomato chili and chicken chili so you may notice similar flavor notes, but the taste and texture is also quite different!
Are fresh beans or canned beans better? For this chicken chili recipe, I used canned beans!
Can I use rotisserie chicken? Absolutely! Just stir the chicken in at the end once everything is cooked!
