Healthy White Chicken Chili — Lighter Greek Yogurt Recipe

White chicken chili is already one of the lighter chilis — lean chicken, fiber-rich beans, no heavy red-meat richness — and a few small swaps make it lighter still without making it taste like a compromise. We use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for the same tang with more protein, lean on the beans and their natural starch for creaminess instead of cheese and cream, and let lime and cilantro do the brightening. It's a genuinely satisfying, high-protein bowl that happens to be good for you — the kind of dinner you feel good about going back to for seconds.

Skip the tortilla strips; top with avocado and extra lime. A big handful of cilantro at the table keeps it bright without adding richness.

This is a flexible base — adjust portions and toppings to what works for you. Stir yogurt off the heat only; it splits easily if the pot boils.
