Is this dish gluten-free?

Yes. White Chicken Chili is naturally gluten-free when you use gluten-free broth. Always check labels on canned beans, chiles, and seasonings. If you are strict, choose certified gluten-free products.

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of pre-cooked breast?

Absolutely. Rotisserie chicken is convenient and flavorful in White Chicken Chili. Shred the meat and add it toward the end to keep texture. This shortcut still delivers creamy, comforting bowls the family loves.

How can I adjust this for kids or picky eaters?

Kids often prefer milder flavors in White Chicken Chili. Start with less chili powder and spice gradually. Offer toppings on the side for tailoring bowls. Use Greek yogurt for creaminess if dairy is a concern.

Can I thicken the soup without dairy?

Yes. Mash a portion of beans for extra body. Simmer longer to reduce liquid naturally. Or stir in more beans at the end.

How long do leftovers keep?

Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3–4 days. Freeze portions for up to two months. Reheat until steaming hot before serving again.
