    My favorite time of year is coming!! FALL. Fall weather means chili. Black bean chili, beef chili, turkey chili, allllll the chili.  This is my favorite recipe for Creamy White Chicken Chili. It's a twist on a classic, and completely delicious. I usually make it when I want to mix things up a little for dinner. This is a MILD chili. I occasionally add a jalapeno or a small 4.5 oz can of green chilis for a little extra spice.

    When I make it on the stovetop, I like to let it simmer for at least half an hour after all of the ingredients are in the pot, to let the chicken cook and soften a little. It's more tender the longer you let it cook. I usually make some of our favorite fluffy Corn Bread to go with it.

    Red pot with raw chicken, raw green pepper, raw onion, with bowl of spices.

    This is a simple chili recipe, with pretty simple ingredients. Mostly pantry staples. You can use frozen and canned vegetables or fresh, same with spices. When they're available I love to use fresh herbs and spices but they're usually more expensive and don't last nearly as long as dried herbs.

    First I begin by cooking the chicken, onions, and diced green pepper together. Next I add the spices, followed by the corn, chicken broth, greek yogurt (or sour cream) and beans. Last I add the thickening mixture called a "slurry". I use milk and flour or cornstarch whisked together.

    Process of making white chicken chili: pouring in spices to raw ingredients, pouring in corn and greek yogurt, pouring in Navy beans, and pouring in milk mixture.

    How to customize white chicken chili:

    • Add your favorite toppings! I love to add cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, and sometimes some red pepper flakes.
    • For a little extra spice, add a small can of green chiles or ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the spices.
    • Add different varieties of peppers! Spicy or sweet, they're both delicious.

    I've made a quick version and a slow cooker version and both work great! Really it depends on preference and how much time you have. Make sure for the crock pot you cook it on high for at least 4 hours.
