Pro Tips & Substitutions:

• If you prefer a smoother texture, you can wait to add the cream cheese at the end, making sure it’s at room temperature before stirring it in. Alternatively, blend it with some broth for a silky-smooth consistency.
• If you don’t have Rotel, you can substitute with diced tomatoes and green chilies.
• For a thinner chili, you can add a bit of chicken broth or water.
• Make ahead: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of water for a quick dinner.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve your white chicken chili with tortilla strips, a dollop of sour cream, avocado, or shredded cheese for added flavor. You can also enjoy it with a side of warm cornbread or crackers.
