White Chicken Chili Recipe

This white chicken chili recipe it the perfect fall soup recipe for your dinner table! Rich, creamy and full of flavor, you’ll beg for seconds.

Know what? It’s hot in Texas. Like fry an egg on the sidewalk hot. I am sure the rest of the country is blazing hot as well. Soon we won’t all be Sweating to the Oldies though and fall will bring cooler temps. Do you know what else fall brings? Soup recipes like this amazing white chicken chili recipe!

Here in Texas, chili is a tomato based product with hamburger or steak, peppers and seasonings. While I adore that type of chili recipe, by sometimes I just want something different.

Are you the same way?

When that happens, this white chicken chili recipe is the perfect option! It’s warm, comforting, filling and did I mention; absolutely delicious!

How to Make White Chicken Chili

I have always loved food, but I do not believe that food needs to be expensive to be delicious.

In fact, I believe quite the opposite and this chili recipe is proof of it.

It is incredibly budget friendly but also delicious!

I am also of the opinion that the best recipes are the ones that are easily customized so each family can really make it their own.

And you guessed it; this white chicken chili recipe can easily be made your own. You can change the spices or use chicken thighs instead of breast.

You can use real heavy cream from the store, raw cream like THIS (Six Dollar Family) or even use a heavy cream substitute like THIS (Six Dollar Family).

In other words, it’s your meal, make it your own.

Can you Freeze White Chicken Chili?

I wish. I adore freezer recipes, but unfortunately, white chicken chili is cream based. If you’ve never tried to freeze a cream based sauce, it doesn’t work too well.

Cream based sauces will separate when they are frozen. Unfortunately, it’ almost impossible to get them to recombine usually resulting in a soggy mess by the time you’re done.

I know. It makes me sad too. I would love to be able to freeze my Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo recipe (Six Dollar Family) but it just doesn’t turn out well.

What to Serve with White Chicken Chili?

I know this might sound odd, but we love to serve white chicken chili with a pull apart garlic bread recipe. We pull the bread apart and dip it in the chili for a flavor that meshes so well together!

Gather for Bread has an amazing pull apart garlic bread recipe HERE.

You can also serve it with tortilla chips, shredded cheese and sour cream if you’re looking for a more authentic chili experience.
