Vegan White Chicken Chili uses seitan chicken and classic white chicken chili ingredients for a plant-based and high-protein chili. Ready in 25 minutes!
White chicken chili is a version of chili that uses chicken instead of beef and doesn't use tomatoes. Hence the word white in the title.
Usually it features chicken, white beans, and a broth that's made creamy from yogurt or sour cream. The chili also typically has poblano peppers or another spicy green pepper. And fresh cilantro.
The chili is made from white-ish ingredients, yet still has a normal chili texture and flavor.
This vegan version of white chicken chili uses seitan chicken instead of regular chicken. And swaps in non-dairy yogurt for regular yogurt.
Step 1. Sauté the onion and peppers in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat, until starting to soften.
Step 2. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Stir and toast for 1 minute.
Step 3. Add the vegetable broth broth, seitan chicken, and beans. Bring to simmer.
Step 4. When the pot reaches a simmer, turn off the heat and stir in the non-dairy yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro.
Step 5. Serve with cilantro and more yogurt. Enjoy!
Store this dish in the fridge. It will last up to a week.
I used my vegan seitan chicken recipe because it is packed with protein and has a great chicken-like texture. However, seitan is not gluten-free, so if you are gluten-free, you'll need another protein option.
You can:
1) add more beans or crumbled tempeh - add another can or two of white beans, or grab a block of tempeh and crumble it into the soup when you add the beans
2) use a gluten-free vegan chicken. I recommend Abbot's Butcher chick'n - prepare the chick'n as instructed on the box, then add it to the recipe during step 3 when the seitan chicken would be added
Thank you God for delicious meals that are quick and easy to make. Let us enjoy the amazing flavors of the food you give us. Amen.
