White Chicken Chili Recipe

Updated on February 1st, 2021

Now I can add a new favorite among chili recipes to my collection, white chicken chili. This was the first time I have ever tried white chicken chili and I didn’t really know what to expect. When the chili had finished cooking and I tasted it, I thought it was great. This is a lot different from your normal chili, as it uses no actual chili powder. Adding the shredded Monterey jack cheese makes a huge difference in the flavor and is necessary so do not leave it out. The original recipe called for diced jalapeño peppers, I wanted to cut down the heat a little bit so I replaced them with canned green chilies. If you want to cut down the heat, even more, add less cayenne pepper. If you want leftover chicken you want to use up, this is a great recipe for that. Enjoy.
