Notes
To save time, use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken for this recipe. Simply shred the chicken before adding it to the pot. If you prefer a spicier chili, leave the seeds in the jalapeño pepper or add some crushed red pepper flakes. For a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the chili using an immersion blender or by transferring some of the chili to a blender and then returning it to the pot. Garnish your white chicken chili with additional toppings like chopped fresh cilantro, grated cheese, or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness. Enjoy!
