Warming, comforting chicken chili with green chiles, cream cheese, corn and white beans.
Green chiles and cream cheese are one of my favorite pairs. Tangy cream cheese is the perfect antidote for mildly spiced chiles. When you add tender chicken into the mix along with meaty beans and succulent corn magic happens. The stars align. The man in the moon smiles. The sun sighs.
No. I am not prone to exaggeration.

This is not as thick as a traditional chili and the name white chili is due to it not having tomatoes in it.
The cream cheese infused chicken broth is the star of the show. Trust me. You want to have tortilla chips in the house when you make this. I greedily dipped and scooped my way through the entire bowl then calculated how long it would take for me to get hungry again so I could have seconds.
It’s like a souped up chili dip. That you seriously. Cannot. Stop. Eating.
Say hello to my new best friend.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season well with salt and pepper.
- In a large soup pot or saucepan heat the butter over medium heat. Add chicken and cook through, stirring every few minutes. Remove to a platter and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the oil, onion, bell pepper, garlic, chile powder and oregano. Season with salt and pepper and cook 5-6 minutes, stirring often. Add the green chiles and cook 3 more minutes.
- Add the beans with their juices, the broth, corn and chicken back in. Season again with salt and pepper. Simmer 25 - 30 minutes. Taste halfway through and add more seasonings if needed.
- Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese. Break it apart with your spoon and stir it into the broth until it is completely melted. Put a lid on the pan and let it sit on low heat 5 minutes.
- Stir in a tablespoon of fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve with your choice of toppings.


















OMG… I made this last night…unbelievably good! I used a seasoned chicken breast from the butcher’s case….not sure if it made any difference or not.
Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Paula! I’m happy it was such a hit!
