I begged the chef for the white chili recipe…

Chili that lingers in your brain for 25+ years had to have been pretty good!  All I can remember is a steamy bowl of thick, cream-colored chicken chili that was not at all like the red style chili I grew up with.  It was after college in Lancaster, PA and I was with my friends Kim and Burke. We think it may have been at this American Bar and Grill, although I’m really not sure.   All I can remember is sitting at the bar with cold beer, good friends and a delicious bowl of this white chili!! YUM!  It was so good, I remember going back for it a few times and asking for the recipe each time.  Finally, they relented and shared it with me!  WooHoo!  It was written in restaurant quantities with #10 cans of this and that…My sister and I tweaked the recipe early on and I have since worked on it some more.  I like my chicken chili a little more “brothy” with green chilies added.  It’s fun to put out lots of topping options so everyone can customize their bowl.  Mmmm…would be great at a party in a slow-cooker with self-serve toppings!  Enjoy!!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 3 cups shredded leftover chicken)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 jalapeno seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 (7-ounce) can green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 48 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (15.5 ounce) cans cannellini beans* drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro or parsley

Topping Options:

  • shredded monterey jack cheese
  • cilantro
  • lime wedges
  • pickled red onions
  • tortilla chips

Instructions 

  • Heat large pot (5-6  quart) over medium heat.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1-tablespoon oil to pot and brown chicken on both sides, reduce heat and cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Remove to plate and tent with foil.
  • In same pot add 1-tablespoon oil, onions, celery and jalapeño. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently or until beginning to soften.
  • Add garlic, chilies, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring frequently for another minute.
  • Add broth and bring to simmer.
  • Shred chicken.
  • Add beans and chicken and maintain low simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes.
  • Stir in cilantro or parsley.

Notes

Tip: This chili is a lighter texture, more brothy, than thick. (my personal preference)  If you want to add some more "body" to the chili, I have pureed some of the beans before adding to the chili.  You can do this is a blender or a chopper/food processor.  Puree half a can of beans for a little more body or a whole can for more.
