Like the majority of white chicken chili recipes out there, this base chili recipe is a bit mild. At the bottom of the ingredients list you will see an optional listing for jalapeno or serrano pepper chopped. I highly recommend it for the added kick you will get with this tasty white chicken chili recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large white beans, soaked overnight in water, drained
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium onions, chopped (divided)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 4-ounce cans chopped green chilies
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 3 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, chopped (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

Combine chicken broth, garlic, beans and half the onions in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer until the beans are very soft. This will take 3 hours or more. Add additional water (or watered-down broth), as necessary.
In a skillet, sauté remaining onions in oil until tender. Add chilies and seasonings and mix thoroughly. Add to bean mixture. Add chicken and continue to simmer 1 hour. Check seasoning, add jalapeno or serrano to level of desired hotness.
Serve topped with grated cheese. Garnish with cilantro, chopped fresh tomato, salsa, chopped scallions, and/or guacamole. Serve with fresh warmed flour tortillas or tortilla chips.
