What Makes This White Chicken Chili Creamy?
This white chicken chili gets its creaminess, richness, and subtly tangy flavor from heavy whipping cream and sour cream. Make sure to incorporate the dairy-rich ingredients after the chili is taken off the heat. Otherwise, the mixture will curdle.

I’m not a huge fan of onions, so I only used 1/2 an onion and added a red bell pepper. I also added a cup of green salsa and less broth.

I topped the dish with cheese, green onions and cilantro!

Yummy!
