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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
