So I think I'm going to try making this tomorrow. I've never made nor had white chili before, so it should be interesting.

Here's the recipe I'm trying:


1 tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1 Cut Diced Onion
1 tsp. Garlic
2 (4 oz.) Cans Chopped Green Chilies
2 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Dried Oregano
3 (14.5 oz.) Cans Chicken Broth
4 Cooked Chicken Breast Halves
2 (15 oz.) Cans White Northern Beans
1 (15 oz.) Can of White Kidney Beans
1-1/2 Cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
2 Cups Frozen Corn

Trim excess fat from chicken breast, boil slowly in water for 35 minutes, dice two halves into petite squares, shred the other two. Set aside.

Empty beans into colander and rinse with cold water until foaming stops.

Empty water from pot and wipe clean. Add vegetable oil and diced onion, sauté at low-medium heat until onion starts to become soft. Add garlic, green chilies, cumin and oregano, heat on medium for three minutes. Add chicken broth.

Add chicken and white beans to broth mixture. Heat to a boil and reduce to simmer for 20 minutes. Turn heat off.

Add corn and cheese to pot, stir, and let cool. (Always better the second day.)

Anyone have any ideas for other things to add(If the recipe is good I'll tinker with it a bit and maybe try some other things if anyone has any good ideas).

Only thing I could think of adding to this is maybe some traditional chicken herbs, such as some dried rosemary and thyme, though not a lot, just enough to accentuate the flavor of the chicken.

I'm also not going to boil the chicken. I'm just going to cook them in a pan, though not over a very hot stove.

White chicken, huh?

Something wrong with black chicken? Seriously, I expect that sort of bigotry from some of the posters here, but not from you...































Naw, just kidding. Recipe looks good. I'd say it'd be DAMN good with leg/thigh meat, given it's richer and would give more gelatin into the soup.

Let us know how it turns out, cuz some of the cats here might be looking for a warming stew/soup like that given this national cold snap we're having here in the U.S.

Definitely this.

Cincinnati sucks come winter.

I'm gonna give this recipe a try, probably. Pulled a similar one off of allrecipes.com a few years ago and never got around to it. :mad:

What about tomatoes and green and red bell peppers? I think they're missing from your recipe.

Yellow peppers? Parsnip pieces? Butternut squash? Sweet potato? Dumpling things? Mushrooms maybe? :)

There's supposed to be no tomatoes in white chili as fas as I know.

I'm pretty sure every recipe I've seen has omitted tomatoes.

I might try black eyes peas too.

Mushrooms could be interesting, but I've never had mushrooms in something spicy. I don't know how well that'd work.

^Sorry I misread you, "white" was referring to the chilli not the chicken, silly me.
