What Makes This White Chicken Chili Different?
Traditional white chicken chili gets its flavor from green chiles, cumin, garlic and a creamy broth. This version takes things one delicious step further with Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil.
Baklouti peppers bring a warm, fresh green-chile flavor that works beautifully with chicken, beans and Southwestern-inspired seasonings. Instead of simply adding heat, the olive oil adds another layer of savory flavor throughout the entire pot.
The result? A flavor-packed white chicken chili that tastes like it simmered for hours, even though it comes together surprisingly quickly.

The Secret Ingredient: Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil
If you've never cooked with Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil, chili is a very good place to start. Its naturally peppery, green-chile flavor blends right into the broth while giving the finished dish a gentle warmth.
We use it at the beginning of the recipe to sauté the onions and garlic, then you can add another small drizzle over each bowl just before serving. That final splash gives the chili an extra burst of Baklouti flavor.
Don't Skip the Toppings!
White chicken chili is practically begging for toppings, so this is definitely not the time to be shy.
Try your bowl with:
- Diced avocado

- Sour cream or Greek yogurt

- An extra drizzle of Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil
How Spicy Is Baklouti White Chicken Chili?
This recipe has a pleasant chile warmth rather than knock-your-socks-off heat. Of course, spice tolerance is personal, so you can easily adjust it.
For a milder version, use mild canned green chiles and start with a smaller amount of Baklouti Green Chili Olive Oil. For a spicier bowl, add fresh jalapeño, serrano pepper or an extra drizzle of Baklouti Olive Oil at the end.
Easy Ways to Make Your Chili Thicker
Prefer a thick and creamy white chicken chili? Before adding the beans, mash approximately 1 cup with a fork or potato masher. Stir them into the soup and they'll naturally thicken the broth.
You can also let the finished chili simmer uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
What to Serve With White Chicken Chili
This chili is absolutely hearty enough to be dinner all by itself, but a few easy sides can turn it into a seriously good meal.
- Warm cornbread
- Crusty artisan bread
- Tortilla chips
- Simple green salad
- Roasted corn
- Cheese quesadillas
Can You Make White Chicken Chili Ahead of Time?
Yes — and you might even like it better the next day!
Store leftover Baklouti White Chicken Chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if the chili has thickened too much.
