I too found this recipe years ago on allrecipes.com and make it all of the time. It is excellent to say the least. My kids enjoy it too but I cut back on the spice in the original pot and kick it up in the other bowls. Don't skip the cheese! Enjoy!

Very good white chili! I left out the jalapenos (didn't have any) and didn't even put cheese on it and it was delicious. Will make this one again.

Nice easy soup - great on a cold evening. I almost always have cooked chicken thighs in my refrigerator so that is what I used in place of chicken breast. Only used two cans of white beans since that was all I had. This is one of those great go-to recipes as I almost always have all the ingredients on hand. Thanks for posting this msm - will definitely make this one again.

I was a little skeptical considering there were only 5 reviews for this white chicken chili recipe but the ingredients are what caught my eye. Best white chicken chili I have ever made!! I love flavorful dishes and this dish has a world of flavor in it! The only three small changes I made to it was use a Tbsp of Olive Oil instead of vegetable oil, low sodium chicken broth and I buy one pre-cooked whole chicken at the market (Stater Bros; Rosemary Garlic seasoned). Other than those small changes, its *Perfectly Deliicious*!

This has always been my favorite white chicken chili recipe. I got it out of a magazine several years ago. I usually use fresh jalapenos and always add cilantro. Healthy and yummy!
