Smoked White Chicken Chili Recipe

Smoked White Chicken Chili is going to be a new fall favorite of mine! I have always loved White Chicken Chili in the crockpot but in the smoker adds a whole new level of flavor!  Everyone who tried this loved it! (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now smoking foods is nothing new but I have fallen in love with using my Pit Boss Pro 1100 as more of a convection oven. However, it gives the added bonus of smoke flavor!!  I picked up mine at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves.  Even better if I can use leftover smoked meat in the dish.

• 1 Can White Chili Beans
• 1 Can Great Northern Beans
• A scoop Minced Garlic
• 1 Can Green Chile 
• 1 Can Cannellini Beans
• Chopped Onion

• Cumin

How To Make Smoked White Chicken Chili:

Start out with Smoked Chicken Breast, you can see how I make mine -> here.  Any type of shredded chicken will work but the smoked chicken will add more flavor to the chili as well

Startup your smoker to get the smoke rolling! I set my Pit Boss Pro 1100 to a smoke setting of P7 for the smoke setting.  I also closed the chimney stack to allow more smoke to stay in the smoker.  This time around I used mesquite pellets to smoke my chili.

If you are using a cast iron dutch oven wipe it down with oil so as to help make sure that it is ready to cook without having stuff stick.  I use an old cast iron dutch oven the old lady picked up for $5 and has worked amazing! An Enameled Cast Iron would work as well just know that the smoke may stain the dutch oven.

Using a strainer strain out your white beans and your peppers. (I skipped mine that had a chili sauce so I just put those straight in the dutch oven. 

Shred your chicken and place it in the dutch oven.  

Cut up your onion, I normally use red onion but used a sweet onion due to the fact I couldn’t find any near me.  

Season with your cumin, salt, peppercorns, and cayenne pepper to taste. 

Pour in broth and water until it is well covered and give it a good stir to mix everything together.

Once your smoker is ready take it out to your smoker and allow it to smoke.  You will not be using the lid or cover at all for this recipe. 

First I allowed mine to smoke on the smoke setting for a half hour then turned it up to 225.  I allowed it to cook for 4 hours at 225!! 

Remove and serve when ready!! 

* You can thicken up the chili if you want with 1/4 cup of corn starch and 1 cup of hot water in a small bowl and then mix into the chili a half-hour before serving.
