Description

Creamy Poblano Chicken Chili is a rich, flavorful twist on traditional chili. Roasted poblanos add a mild smokiness, while tender shredded chicken, white beans, and a creamy broth make this comforting dish perfect for chilly nights or cozy family meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup frozen or canned corn (optional)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus extra for garnish)
  • Lime wedges for serving


Instructions

  1. Roast poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until skin is charred. Let cool in a covered bowl or sealed bag, then peel, remove seeds, and dice.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  3. Stir in diced poblanos, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast spices.
  4. Add shredded chicken, white beans, corn (if using), and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10โ€“15 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Then add sour cream and cilantro. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Simmer gently for 5 more minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
  • Want it spicier? Add a jalapeรฑo or a pinch of cayenne with the garlic.
  • This dish is great for meal prep and freezes well.
  • Top with avocado, shredded cheese, or tortilla strips for added texture and flavor.
