Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Chili Components

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 4 oz can green chiles
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Add olive oil to a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Next, add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic starts to brown.
  2. Add Spices: Stir in oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper. Sauté the spices with the aromatics for 1 minute to release their flavors.
  3. Add Liquids & Green Chiles: Pour in the chicken stock and add the canned green chiles. Stir well, then increase the heat to bring the mixture to a low boil.
  4. Simmer: Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stock reduces by at least one-third.
  5. Add Dairy & Chicken: Lower heat to medium, then add heavy whipping cream, cubed cream cheese, and shredded rotisserie chicken. Stir occasionally for 10-15 minutes until the chili is thoroughly heated and the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve your creamy white chicken chili garnished with toppings like cheese and sour cream as desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, increase or keep the cayenne pepper.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This chili can be thickened further by simmering longer if desired.
  • Use shredded rotisserie chicken for ease or homemade cooked chicken for freshness.
  • Optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro complement the dish well.
