I have now made and had this Whole30 White Chicken Chili 3 times. And I only got the recipe about 2 weeks ago! If that doesn’t tell you how good this white chicken chili recipe is, I don’t know what will. The hubs even rated it, “Restaurant Quality.” (In case you don’t remember, the last dish I made that he rated restaurant-quality was my Clean Eating Creamy Black Bean Soup. And that was almost a year ago…so this is some serious verbiage not to be taken lightly!) 😉
I love including this comforting and hearty meal into my weekly meal plan. Need help putting your next week’s meal plan together? Click HERE and I’ll send you an exclusive discount code to snag my Meal Planning For The Busy Mom eBook for less!
UPDATE:Since first publishing this recipe in 2014, I have fallen in love with Faster Way to Fat Loss and now use it as my go-to health program.

I had a co-worker share this white chicken chili recipe with me while we were doing Whole30 and it quickly became a Whole30 lunch crew staple. In fact, we’re making it again tomorrow at the office.
I know it sounds funny to axe the beans and replace them with sweet potatoes but it works. The sweet potatoes get cooked down and just the right amount of mushy to add that legume-like goodness to the mix. This soup is SO easy. It made a lot so we could use the leftovers for other lunches and dinners but you could always cut it in half. There’s also other shortcuts you can do like not making the homemade chicken stock and just buying 2 cartons of organic chicken broth.
This was my first time using a rotisserie chicken to make chicken stock for the Whole30 White Chicken Chili recipe and I was very pleased with the frugalista feeling that came with it! Now that rain is settling in Birmingham, and the temperatures are finally starting to drop, this is the perfect soup to add to your tailgating line up or just for your ho-hum hump day dinner table to jazz it up a bit.
