History :
White Chicken Chili became popular in the United States in the 1980s as a lighter, creamier alternative to traditional red chili. Originating from the Southwestern states, it swapped red beans and beef for white beans and chicken, resulting in a milder but equally satisfying dish. Over time, cooks began enhancing it with cream, cheese, and spices—creating the comforting version we enjoy today.
