A creamy, flavorful chili bringing together chicken, bacon, and jalapeños for a warm and comforting dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 rotisserie chicken (skin removed, meat pulled off bones and chopped)
  • 1 pound bacon (cooked and chopped)
  • 2 (15-oz) cans white kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 3 fresh jalapeños (seeds removed and diced)
  • 2 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 (8-oz) block cream cheese

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, cooking for 2 minutes until it forms a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and half-and-half. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped rotisserie chicken, crispy bacon, white kidney beans, diced jalapeños, onion flakes, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir everything together, letting it cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  4. For an extra touch, garnish your chili with additional bacon, fresh jalapeños, and perhaps some shredded pepper jack cheese, if desired.

Notes

Adjust spiciness to taste and use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
