This is my first time to make a white chili. This is wonderful. It is so easy to make. I used an already roasted chicken from the deli and also added a can of mushrooms. Everything else I kept the same.I made some Honey Beer Bread to go with it.. What and awesome dinner.. The wine was good too.

This was definitely a hit. I didn't use the Heavy cream at all, I only used the sour cream, and I added a can of mushrooms. Also, I have to wonder if it is coming out different for people that live in different places. I live in Southern New Mexico, we are in the desert and elevated like 3500 ft. It wasn't thin for me, nice and creamy and DE-LISH!!

We were disappointed after all of the great reviews for this recipe. The only changes made were to add 1 tsp minced garlic and use 33% less sodium chicken broth. This was just okay for us. Perhaps we prefer beef chili instead!

There's another White Chicken Chili from Taste of Home that I usually make that is done in the crockpot and starts with a jar of alfredo sauce. I decided to make this one because I wanted something that I could make quickly that didn't have to cook all day. This tasted similar and we really liked it because it was quick. I think I will double next time for more leftovers.

First time I've made a white chili. We loved it. I used only one can of chilies and it was plenty of heat for us. Next time I may add another can of beans, but it is thick enough with the just the two.

This is great anyway but after making it at least 20 times now i have some suggestions. Add an extra can of great N. beans and thicken the soup with some cornstarch or flour. Use Tillamook brand sour cream there is a HUGE difference. Iv'e tried both.

This soup was a hit! It was easy and quick to bring together. The only thing I did different was add a fresh jalepeneo to the canned chillies. I think it could benefit from some more veggies, like corn. The other thing I noted was that to me, it seemed salty. I think next time I make it, I will cut back on the salt added and add some corn.

I mixed the everything together, including the cream and sour cream before cooking in the crock pot on high for 4 hours. It turned out wonderful. I also only added 3 cans green chiles (1 1/2 the recipe instead of double) just so it wouldn't be too hot. Next time I will add all 4 cans because although it had a kick, it wasn't as much as I like. I also did as others have recommended and used instant potato flakes to make it creamier. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for submitting it!

Will be making again, and again, and again. The perfect alternative to ground beef "red" chili. Tiny little bit of heat (not much at all), perfect creaminess, awesome flavor, good chunkiness. Was a little soupy like others have stated so I took a third can of white beans and drained and rinsed them, and then mashed them to a pulp and added to the chili to thicken up the consistency. Also shredded and added the two breasts and one thigh of a rotisserie chicken (besides the chicken in the recipe) and added to it. Unbelievable flavor. Not sure if I'll ever eat red chili again now. Thanks for sharing. Will be a staple for years and generations (hopefully).

Fantastic! My husband loves spicy foods, but the kids and I do not. So I compromised and used half the called-for amounts of both the green chiles and the cayenne. The result was a dish that was a hit across the board! After the first bite, all were requesting that this become a regular on our family dinner table.

Being from a state where Beef is what's for dinner, my initial reaction to this recipe was less than excitement, but the reviews convinced me to give it a try. We really liked it a lot. I had to thicken it up a little with some cornstarch to suit my chili tastes. Next time I make it, I will add a vegetable like cabbage or corn to increase the textural diversity but overall this is a really good chili and I will make it again.

I found this recipe September 2010. It's December 19th 2010 and I'm making it for the 3rd time. The first time I made it my mom had some and loved it and has made it probably 6 times since she tried it. My wife whom doesn't really care for chili loves it. It's really one of those things that sounds strange in your head. . Chili with chicken? Hrm.. I dunno. Just try it. It makes you nervous to try it, because it seems odd, but once you try it, it's awesome! No one in my family are huge onion people, so I always get a small onion and probably only use 3/4 of it, and I chop them up really tiny. This way the onions are not overpowering, but I think it would be missing something without them, so I wouldn't leave them out.

Reviewed on Dec. 07, 2010 by Jessica2783

I cut the recipe in half, but forgot to cut the spices in half. Because of that- this had a LOT of bite!! Also used white kidney beans as we can't get great northern beans where I live. Next time, when I make it properly, I think I will still cut back on the cumin and cayenne pepper.
