This white chicken chili goes from kitchen to dinner table in about 30 minutes. Start cooking some rice first and everything will be ready at about the same time.
Updated to add: I’ve been making this recipe for 14 years now! I vary the beans sometimes if I don’t have any white ones. I add more green chiles sometimes if I just have the larger can. I serve it over rice if I need to stretch it or just in a bowl by itself, with the cheese, sour cream and fresh chopped onions.
White Chicken Chili
This white chicken chili cooks up fast and tastes great! You could make it milder by leaving out the green chilies.
