White Chicken Chili Ingredients

Find the full list of ingredients, amounts, and instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

recipe ingredients with text overlay stating the name of each ingredient.

Chicken Breast: I prefer to use organic free range boneless skinless chicken breasts, if available. You could also use boneless chicken thighs if you don’t have breasts.
Onion: You can use a white or yellow onion.
Garlic: Adds a great savory flavor. I like fresh garlic but you could substitute canned minced garlic or garlic powder.
Green Chiles: These add so much depth of flavor to this recipe.
White Beans: White cannellini beans, navy beans, or great northern beans add a delicious consistency to the chili.
Frozen Corn: Frozen works well in this recipe, but you could also use fresh or canned corn if that’s all you have.
Chicken Bone Broth: Chicken broth from a can or a box works, but you can also make your own using this Instant Pot bone broth recipe.
Cream Cheese: I would use full-fat cream cheese for this creamy white chicken chili recipe.
