Creamy White Chicken Chili
I first tried this recipe back in 2010 at a chili cook-off we had at church. It was AWESOME! I had never tried a white chili before & I love creamy white sauces/soups, so this was a real winner for me. There were two gals that brought a white chicken chili to that cook-off & so I asked both of them for their recipes & ironically enough, they were the SAME exact recipe! Haha!
I have been searching for the original owner of the recipe & have come up blank. Every white chicken chili you search is basically this recipe, so I decided to source Taste of Home b/c they had a nice picture & a printable version if you want to click on the link I have. The way I have it typed is basically the same, but I use less chicken, & tried to lighten up the calories a tad using light sour cream, but kept the full heavy cream which makes this recipe 259 calories per cup.

We are having this for dinner tomorrow with same family, do you have any suggestions on a dessert that would pair nicely with this dish? Preferable a pie, but not necessary. Thanks!
Hi Torey,
I’m not sure I can think of a pie that would go well with this chili, but I do have this amazing sweet corn bread recipe that is almost like cake, and it would be absolutely perfect with it. Enjoy! https://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/best-sweet-corn-bread-recipe/
