My friend Diane made this chicken chili for some couples one night and my husband ate two helpings. That might seem like no big deal for most men, but my husband rarely eats two helpings of something unless he really, really likes it. So I decided to name this recipe Chris’ Favorite Chicken Chili. The herbs give it a fresh flavor and I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
I added the sour cream at the end, but Diane says she throws it all in at the same time. Another option is to mix 1/2 block of melted cream cheese with a little milk and stir it into the chili toward the last half hour or so. It gives the chili a little creamier flavor. It’s totally up to you. It tastes great with or without the cream cheese. My husband likes it with the cream cheese, but the picture above is without it.

My hubby would LOVE this so much! I am totally going to surprise him with it this weekend! 🙂 Pinning this recipe right now!-Ashley
I love white chili! This recipe seems a lot easier than the one I use. I’m going to have to give it a try.
I’m all about easy!
I was going to make chili anyway for the snow coming later this week, now I’m going to make both! Yum
Hope you like it Kristin!
I think I will give it a try with turkey and see how it comes out….we’ve got some leftovers I need to disguise 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
I bet that would work just fine. Hope you had a good turkey day 🙂
Awwww… Thanks for the posting:) So glad Chris liked it:) xoxo
Thank you for sharing your recipe 🙂
Thanks for sharing! I like Anne’s idea since we have leftover turkey too.
This looks perfect for a ski weekend or a cold winter night! I am definitely making it! I just pinned it! Thanks!
I hope you like it Michelle and thanks for sharing!
YUM! Cannot wait to try this, Dawn!
I love chili!! This looks so delicious!
Hi Dawn, I’m making your chicken chili and was wondering……did you just drain the black beans and not the Great Northern Beans? Just checking….I thought maybe it would make the broth thicker? so I know it could go both ways…. just a matter of taste, but if your hubby loves it , I want to do it up right 🙂 It looks delicious!
HI Kristin, I know I’m late in responding. We were on Spring Break when you sent this comment. You don’t have to drain the Great Northern Beans, but it doesn’t matter if you prefer to drain them. Hope you enjoyed the chili.
