This creamy and flavorful chicken and white beans chili is currently a favorite in my house. It’s delicious and quite a bit healthier than the classic version. I used canned beans, but dry ones can also be used. It’s so easy! Also, I am not using cream cheese but thickening the chili with cornstarch and coconut milk instead of half and half. It’s my favorite way to make creamy soups! This White Chicken Chili is packed with chicken, beans and green chiles.
