Yes, my friends. Today we are making this White Chicken Chill recipe. You should get excited because it is so tasty!

I don’t like soup; I’ve never liked it. I literally roll my eyes at chicken noodle soup. (It probably rolls its eyes right back at me.) There’s only one exception to this aversion – cream soup, the kind made with heavy cream that coats your tongue in silky deliciousness. Think corn chowder, lobster bisque, etc. I also love chili.

This White Chicken Chili recipe is from Seven Mountains Wine Cellar just outside State College, PA. This is one of my favorite local wineries, so I had a feeling I would love the chili.

How to Make White Chicken Chili:

Made with chicken, beans, sweet corn, cheese for creaminess, and, of course, wine – I really dug this chili.

In fact, I liked the stuff so much that I decided to serve it as the main course for my mom’s birthday party last month. Along with a traditional red chili, this was the star of the show. Multiple people asked for the recipe. Thankfully, I have a space on the Internet to share it with everyone.

Also, (I feel like I say this for every recipe.), this is so simple to make. Once the chicken, onion, and garlic are sautéed in a pan (or in your slow cooker if you have one that allows you to do such things), the rest of the chili comes together in the slow cooker. Set it and forget it.

  1. Michael I made this today and we loved it! I have made this before from another recipe and it was not nearly as tasty as your recipe! Thank you! I will be adding it to my fall and winter rotation! Happy Fall!

  2. Wow, this is an amazing tasting soup / chili! How could it not be? haha ~ I had a robust homemade 2 cups of chicken broth in the fridge, robust because it boiled way down while we played games on zoom the other night = super concentrated flavor. Then with all that cheese melted into it (we actually used less, and only had a sharp cheddar) and wine?! I made a white chicken chili once before and was underwhelmed, but this was seriously tasty. A treat!! Perfect with cornmeal biscuits and we added cilantro too.

  3. I made this tonight. I have an extremely picky 4 year old who will not eat much but he LOVED it! The rest of it thought it was good too. I did not use the cumin or chilies and had to use Colby Jack.

    1. Amy, so glad you liked it! If you make it again try a little with the cumin. I think it really adds a great touch to the flavor. However, if you don’t like it, that’s okay too! 🙂

  4. I made this last night subbing the Chardonnay with water and leaving out the green chilis bc of the little ones and it was still very good! I am having it for lunch and had a generous amount of leftovers despite’s feeding 6 and a few got seconds. This recipe is a keeper.

    1. I’m so glad you loved the recipe. Most of the alcohol content should cook off and even with the green chilies, there’s really no “heat”. However, I’m SO happy you made this work for you and your family. 🙂

      xo Michael

  5. Yum! This looks like the perfect meal to serve when meeting some friends for a long, long night of board games. Besides: you look super fit and happy on your avatar picture 🙂
