A cozy recipe that will earn you a ring on your finger. Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself!
This is a classic Brocc recipe. I’ve been making this Creamy Chicken Chili since way back in my college days and it still hits every single time. I’ve used this recipe SO many times to make guys fall in love with me and can confirm that has worked every time as well.
This recipe has earned many Broccolini’s a ring and has even won it’s fair share of chili cook offs! I think it deserves a gold medal, but you’ll have to let me know once you try it. Use it carefully…
Let’s See How It’s Done
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes per side.
Set the chicken on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the Dutch oven along with the onion and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the corn and cook just to heat through, about 1 minute for frozen or 30 seconds for canned.
Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, chicken, beans, green chiles, chile powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and a few twists of pepper and stir to combine.
Add the cream cheese pieces to the pot and stir to combine.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pot, shred or slice it, then return back to the pot.
Stir in the kale, taste for salt and heat, and adjust to your taste.
If you prefer a thinner chili, add more chicken broth.
Serve in bowls and all the toppings and enjoy!
Made this for meal prep and love it! Freezes perfectly. We are gF/DF so we used kite hill DF cream cheese & it reheats like a dream. Great recipe!

Avid @broccyourbody follower and recipe tester. And after years of hearing about this chili – i finally made it! It Definitely lives up to the hype! Seriously, so good!!!! 😉
Best white chicken chile ive ever had! Made it for my boyfriend tonight and after every bite he said how delicious it was!
Loved! Only thing missing is for step 2 are you cooking chicken until its cooke through? because 5 minutes on each side did not cook it through. Love your recipes!!!
This one needs a QC. You never indicate when to put the chicken back in the chili. You just say to sear it…let it sit out…cut or shred it… and then put it back in.
See step 5!
My daughter loves this ! Can u freeze and add cream cheese and kale later ?
Whips together in no time and
It’s a hit every time! Thank you for sharing.
If lactose intolerant, what would you suggest using instead of cream cheese?
Try Kite Hill Dairy Free Cream Cheese!
Is there a way to do this recipe in the crock pot or instant pot?
