We tried a new dairy free recipe for dinner this week: White Bean, Corn, and Chicken Chili. Even though spring is here, temperatures are still cool so we are craving cold weather foods. This chili is light but hearty, delicious and easy to make!
White Bean, Corn, and Chicken Chili Recipe
Ever since I went on a dairy free diet, I started learning tricks to making dishes taste like they contain dairy. White chili usually contains cream cheese (or some other dairy) to give it a creamy consistency. One way to create a creamy consistency without dairy is to puree the white beans. I didn’t puree the beans in this particular chili, but I have made others this way!
You can enjoy chili with dairy free topping alternatives like Kite Hill Sour Cream or plant based cheese shreds. We love Violife Cheddar Cheese or Daiya Cheese Shreds. This dairy free chili is so delicious!
