Fall is officially here, and while I love layering my favorite Marea sweaters and cardigans, I also find myself spending more time in the kitchen, looking for comforting, easy-to-make meals. My go-to recipe this season? One-Pot Creamy White Chicken Chili. I’ve tried several versions over the years, but this one from The Skinnyish Dish is truly a winner in my house.
It’s the perfect combination of hearty and healthy, with simple ingredients that make it a breeze to whip up on busy days. Plus, it’s a one-pot recipe—so minimal cleanup, which is always a win!
Why I Love This Recipe
What makes this chili extra special is how it balances flavors and textures. The creaminess of the beans and the richness of the chicken, paired with just the right amount of spice, makes it irresistible. I’ve even found that it tastes better the next day, so I often double the batch to enjoy throughout the week.
