I've made a couple of different white chicken chili recipes and this one from Food Network’s Down Home with the Neely’s is definitely my favorite. It was incredibly easy since it uses rotisserie chicken and I loved the consistency of the chili with half of the beans being mashed up instead of left whole. You could also make your own shredded chicken, which might save you a little bit of money.

Notes: I used bottled lime juice, instead of buying 2 limes. This easily made us 6 servings, I think possibly a little more but we'll calculate it at 6 servings.
