Nancy’s Creamy White Chicken Chili

Nancy’s Creamy White Chicken Chili is rich and comforting, with tender chicken, great Northern beans, and a gentle heat from jalapeños wrapped in a velvety, lightly spiced broth. Sweet bell peppers and green onions add brightness, while cumin and white pepper create a warm, lingering finish. Ideal for a cozy dinner or game-day gathering when you want something hearty yet not too heavy.

Nancy’s Creamy White Chicken Chili
  1. 1

    Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until it is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

  2. 2

    Cook the green onions, bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, and garlic in the same skillet until they soften. Put the chicken back into the skillet and season with ginger, salt, sage, cumin, and white pepper. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Melt butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a roux. Whisk in the chicken broth until smooth, then add this to the chicken and vegetables and stir until blended. Stir in the beans with their liquid.

  4. 4

    Simmer the chili over low heat until heated through.
