This White Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese is a creamy, savory alternative to traditional red chili. It features tender shredded chicken, hearty black beans, corn, and Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, enhanced by cream cheese for a velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 15 ounces canned black beans, undrained
  • 15 ounces canned corn, undrained
  • 10 ounces canned Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 4 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Suggested toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add taco seasoning and ranch seasoning mix to the pot, stirring for 1 minute to bloom the spices. If needed, add a splash of water/broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits.
  3. Stir in the undrained black beans, corn, Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Return the seared chicken to the pot, ensuring it’s mostly submerged. Cover and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and very tender.
  5. Remove chicken, shred it using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  6. Add the softened, cubed cream cheese to the simmering chili. Stir gently but continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and fully incorporated, creating a creamy, luxurious texture.
  7. Allow the chili to simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper) as needed.
  8. Ladle the hot chili into bowls. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro (if using) and your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve hot and enjoy!
