This white stew is a milder version of the traditional Tex-Mex red chili con carne. It's made with grilled chicken, canned white beans, chili peppers (hence the name), corn, yucca (or potato), and other typical Tex-Mex spices. Since almost all the ingredients are already cooked or canned, it takes relatively little time to prepare. The chili is mildly spicy, tangy, and warming. Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add a pleasant smoky flavor. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the green onions, garlic, jalapeño, chili spice mix and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth, yucca, corn, carrots, and chipotle leaves and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the yucca is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir to break up the yucca and thicken the broth slightly.

  3. Add the chicken and beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and thickened, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
