It's definitely Chili weather here in Michigan, and we have been enjoying a lot of it. This version is made with lean white-meat chicken breast and white beans, flavored with green chiles and cumin. It is scrumptious.

I first shared this recipe on my blog in September of 2013. The recipe program I used at the time is now defunct and no longer printable, so I am resharing it with you today using a more current program.
In 2024, I shared a recipe for Chicken Pastina Soup. Last year, I shared a recipe for Cider Glazed Chicken Wings . Please join us every other week as we make our way through the alphabet.

Lean, protein-rich, white-meat chicken breast and white beans, flavored with green chiles and cumin. It is scrumptious.
Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 30 Min
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Chicken Breast, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 med. onion, chopped
- 3 cans chicken broth or 6 cups homemade stock
- 3 cans white navy beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 small can of green chiles
- 1 t. cumin
- 1 T. oregano
- dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 T. oil (I use olive or coconut) in a soup pot. Add chicken, onions, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Add the beans, broth, chilis, cumin, oregano, and hot sauce.
- Simmer for 10-15 min. or, if you want to make this ahead of time, place it in a crockpot and cook on low until ready to serve. I like to top mine with shredded Mexican cheese blend and tortilla strips.

We love white chicken chili! Yours looks lovely and healthy too, Wendy.(My own recipe ends with adding a whole block of cream cheese.🤣) I can't wait to try yours!
ReplyDeleteThis version is healthy, the crockpot version linked in the recipe box....that has cheese.
DeleteA lovely recipe Wendy.. Whenever we buy the smallest quantity of chicken breast, we still get left over as hubby is the only one who eats meat. I can use the leftover chicken breast to make this healthy and filling chili. It is still pretty cold here which demands for piping hot meals.
ReplyDeleteI hope he enjoys it, Mayuri.
DeleteWe are having HOT weather today. It should be in the mid 80⁰. I'm thinking of something light like salad.
ReplyDeleteLucky you....I booked a flight to visit friends in Arizona at the end of the month. Can't wait.
DeleteThis is right up our alley. My husband would love this, especially with the beans.
ReplyDeleteIt's a keeper, Karen. Easy, peasy and delicious.
DeleteOne of my favorite light take outs from a local taco place is a single crunchy chicken taco, torn into bits in a bowl, and then pour over and toss a cup of their white chicken chili all together. It's like a little taco salad and varies based on how brothy their chili is that day but I always love it. I would totally make something like that with this easy chili! Add in some shredded lettuce, taco chips, tomatoes to the bowl... yum.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds absolutely scrumptious, Kelly.
DeleteWhite Chicken Chili is a favorite here...I am going to try your recipe. We're still have cold temps so this will be welcoming.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you like it.
DeleteDelicious and protein packed dish!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.
DeleteWe love white chicken chili. I will have to give your recipe a try next time.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you like it.
Deletethis is a comforting meal for this season!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.
DeleteThe only good thing about this extended period of cold weather is all the delicious comfort food! Definitely need to get this one on the menu.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure, Jolene. We need all the comfort we can get.
