This white chicken chili is thick, creamy, and packed with flavor despite using only six ingredients.
The ranch seasoning adds a subtle herby kick, while the green chiles provide mild heat.
The cream cheese melts into the broth, creating a rich and velvety texture that makes every
spoonful comforting and satisfying.
Tips
- For Extra Flavor: Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder or cumin for deeper spice notes.
- Make It Thinner: Add ½–1 cup chicken broth for a soupier consistency.
- Add Heat: Stir in red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
- Toppings: Try shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, or tortilla chips.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
Correction & Helpful Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before shredding.
- Do not add cream cheese at the beginning of cooking to prevent curdling.
- If the chili thickens after refrigeration, add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
