In fact, white chicken chili has actually become one of my favorite grocery store day dinner recipes lately. What’s a “grocery store day dinner recipe?” It’s a recipe that is super easy to make and cooks in a hurry. That’s because on grocery store days I am usually not in the mood to cook an elaborate meal and I don’t want to wait all day for my dinner to simmer or roast. So, if you are anything like me, then one pot wonders made with rotisserie chicken that cook in 30 minutes are perfect for grocery store days 😉

The Secret to a CLEAN and Delicious Dairy Free White Chicken Chili Recipe

Conventional white chicken chili recipes are are made decadent with dairy-based ingredients, typically sour cream, cheese and milk or cream. But the secret to making a clean version is my plant-based dairy free sour cream recipe.  (***By the way, here are the top 10 reasons we don’t drink milk.***)

I realize the idea of making your own sour cream might not sound like the most time-efficient idea on the planet, but trust me nothing could be easier! It takes no more than five minutes to whirl together just six ingredients (macadamia nuts, water, lemon juice, honey, salt and extra virgin olive oil) in a high speed blender. The dairy free sour cream recipe yields 1 3/4 cup and the white chicken chili recipe calls for just 3/4 cup, so you’ll have plenty of leftover sour cream to use on baked potatoes, as a sandwich spread, to dollop on soup, mix in with scrambled eggs, etc.  And you can always make the sour cream in advance since it lasts for up to a week if stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.
