I know traditional tomato-based chili is the classic standard most people stand by but this White Chicken Chili can definitely give it a run for its money! It’s perfectly rich and creamy yet somehow still light and even—dare we say it—somewhat healthy. The combination of tender chicken, perfectly seasoned broth, and flavorful beans and chiles makes this a family favorite.

Plus, it comes together in just about a half hour, making it the perfect meal for just about any night of the week. We love to serve ours with crackers or crumbled up tortilla chips for just a hint of crunch and a sprinkling of cheese. Try it tonight!

Quick tip:  This can be made in the slow cooker. Add all ingredient except the sour cream and cook on low 4-6 hours until chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken and stir in sour cream and cook for 15-30 minutes more before serving.
