What You'll Need

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 to 2 pounds total), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

What to Do

In a soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; sauté 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned.
Add onion and garlic and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer 50 to 60 minutes, or until chili thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.

I've been wanting to make some white chili all season. This sounds amazing. Love my slow cooker and can't wait to make this!

This chili was originally called Saucy Blonde Chili on Mr. Food a LONG time ago, and it called for ground pork. I made it that way once, but after than started using ground turkey. I double the amounts of cumin and chili powder, and also double the green chilies. The original recipe didn't have tomatoes in it either, and I've never used them. This chili is famous now with my family, they love it! I will try it sometime this way with the chicken and tomatoes.

A very good chicken chili. I used 3 cans of cannellini beans---5 just seemed like too much. For our tastes, 1 TABLESPOON of chili powder (not 1 teaspoon) gave about the right amount of heat/flavor.

I didn't make it with 5 cans of beans I used only two but this is a keeper!. It's very tasty. The only thing amiss was it took 2 hours instead of 1 but since we were not going anywhere there was no problem. I used no salt/sodium whole tomatos and chicken broth - to cut sodium level and calories.

I made the saucy white chili late one Sunday afternoon after my husband and I had been out most of the day. It was quick, easy, and delicious! I recommend it. Next time, though, I think I'd cut the recipe in half. It was too much for just two people. But if you'd like to share, most people would enjoy it!

Nikkiakiva 2487029 and everyone. I've made this chili several times...and yes, it is too much for 2 people at one time..but..this recipe freezes well. I tried it with Deer Meat and Smoked Sausage, too. It's awesome!!!
