I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! We spent the weekend with my husband’s family as they all came to town to catch some spring training games. We ate way too much too. Delicious food, of course, but now I’m not sure I can eat any more food this week.

Ok, that’s a lie. Just looking at the pictures of this White Chicken Chili has me wishing for another bowl! I made this chili a few weeks ago on a whim and was really happy with the way it came out.

It’s pretty simple to make and is hearty and comforting. My toddler also really liked this chili and she’s incredibly picky! She didn’t mind the green chiles either, but I only added one can just in case.

This chicken chili uses diced up chicken breast in place of ground meat. It gets nice and tender as it simmers in the chili! This chili also has a bit of a creamy texture thanks to the addition of sour cream and half and half, but it’s not super heavy. I love the tangy flavor that the sour cream adds too! This recipe is the perfect way to change up your chili game!
