Easy White Chicken Chili

There are times in all of our lives when, despite the best of intentions, we’ve felt the rush of trying to get a meal on the table. Whenever I am facing both a tight schedule and a house full of hungry kids, I get creative. And, I usually start with one of my favorite recipes, to see if I can come up with shortcuts that work in less time.

That was how I came up with this easy white chicken chili recipe. My solution at the time was simply to grab a rotisserie chicken on the way home. Nowadays, I use my tried and true method for perfect cooked, shredded chicken ahead of time. So, it’s as easy as setting some out to thaw whenever I need it.

Simple White Chicken Chili

If you’re feeling the pinch of a day with too many things to do, treat yourself to an easy dinner like this simple white chicken chili. It’s a very rare day that I don’t have time to chop an onion, but I know people who hack that part of the recipe by just buying diced onions in the produce section. Either way, there’s hardly any prep time to speak of.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve made this meal, in all of its glorious variations over the past few years. It’s extremely flexible. If I don’t have enough great northern beans, I can swap in pintos. If I have some leftover cooked vegetables, I will often chop them up and toss them into the pot. I can’t really think of a wrong way to make this soup.

That said, you know me. I have to recommend at least a couple adaptations, so that you can make it truly

Pork Chile Verde

It does take a little time, but that’s part of the beauty of chile verde. This is a recipe that rewards patience. It’s the kind of dish you make when you want your house to smell incredible all afternoon. Most of the time is hands-off, while the pork simmers in a broth infused with onions, garlic, cumin, and oregano until it’s fork-tender.

Towards the end of that simmering time, you’ll pop the tomatillos and peppers under the broiler to bring out their smoky, slightly sweet flavors. Toss those roasted vegetables into the blender along with the cilantro, and turn it into the chile verde sauce that is going to transform that tender pork.

The best green chile stew is loaded with bite-sized chunks of pork that are seasoned with onion and plenty of garlic. The pork is simmered in a green chile sauce until tender enough to almost fall apart when you bite it.

New Mexico Green Chile Stew

This is the ultimate comfort food.

Filled with that irresistible pork, potatoes, and roasted green chile, this stew is what I dream of when the weather starts cooling off each fall. And before any other native New Mexican can correct me, I am well aware of the ridiculousness of actually claiming the BEST NM Green Chile Stew, because technically, I do love them all.

That said, this is my family’s best green chile stew, and we love it more than all the others. Made with chunks of tender pork and potatoes, spicy hot green chile, and a savory broth that you’ll be dipping your tortillas into and scraping the bowl clean, this is it for me.

Green Chile Stew

Over the years, I’ve made Green Chile Stew with many different kinds of meat: pork, ground beef, steak, and chicken. However, this Green Chile Stew is hands-down our favorite.

Not that I won’t happily try YOUR green chile stew recipe if you send it to me! I don’t discriminate between green chile recipes. We love adding green chile to our enchiladas, burritos, tacos, soups, and scrambled egg skillets. If the dish includes green chile, my boys will dive straight into it.

Chowder is the king of the soup world, in my opinion. You can chowder-ify just about anything and there’s no time of year when it isn’t welcome at the table. Today’s soup is a particularly delightful addition to the category, though.

Roasted poblano peppers add just enough warmth to keep you coming back for bite after bite without being so rich that you’re filled with regret. The chicken makes this into a satisfying meal-in-one!
