Since starting Stay Fit Mom back in January I’ve been waiting for Fall to share some of my favorite Fall time family recipes. Last week I shared our traditional Halloween Meatball Soup Recipe and this week I’m sharing another, White Chicken Chili. I have given this family recipe a new name, The Best White Chicken Chili, because that’s exactly what it is- The Best!
I didn’t include the Greek yogurt in the recipe, but it’s a must! Once you stir it in it makes it nice and creamy, and white!
I’ve already altered this family recipe slightly to make it “skinnier”. This recipe originally called for heavy whipping cream and sour cream. I don’t know about you but those two things I usually try and avoid if possible. When I lost the baby weight last time around one of my favorite substitutes for sour cream was Greek yogurt. I honestly don’t notice a difference when used in recipes or mixed with a little salsa for Mexican inspired dishes. It’s a great way to make a small change in your diet right away and is actually packed with protein.
I made a double batch of this last Wednesday so I could photograph it for this post and take it to work for lunch. Eating it for lunch and dinner it only lasted 2 days! Friday evening when my husband was gone coaching football the kids and I went to the store for more chicken so we could make another double batch! Like I said, this is The Best White Chicken Chili.

Hey! This was so yummy! Any chance you know the macros/calories for this off hand? And how much is one serving size?
Hi Karla! I need to update all our recipes to include the macronutrient info still. I can tell you the whole recipe is: 217P, 172C, and 51F. I forget how many 1 cup servings it typically makes. My guess is about 10, so you would just divide them all by 10. Hope this helps!
I have to tell you that I have made this recipe for the past 2 years for our chili cookoff at work and I have WON both years! Now I’m going for 3 years in a row! Thanks for sharing this one it IS The BEST White Chicken Chili for sure!
How awesome!!! Glad you’re enjoying t and winning those cook offs!
Can you clarify the cream of chicken can size? I can only find a 10.5 or a 22.6 oz can. Thank You!
Hi Tonya. Sorry that was a mistake, t’s the 10.5oz can. I just updated the recipe. Thanks for catching that!
