Description

A 5-minute homemade white chicken chili seasoning mix made with pantry spices. This easy McCormick copycat equals one packet, skips the fillers and added MSG, and stores beautifully for cozy chili anytime.

Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, or flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon ground red pepper, cayenne, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon sugar, optional
  • ¼ teaspoon dried cilantro, optional

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl.
  • Whisk thoroughly until evenly combined, breaking up any clumps.
  • Use immediately as a one-for-one swap for a store-bought packet, or transfer to an airtight jar and store in a cool, dark pantry for up to 6 months.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Notes

  • To use: Brown 1 lb cubed chicken, then stir in the full batch of seasoning, 1 cup water, and 1 can (15–16 oz) undrained white beans. Simmer 10 minutes.
  • Big batch: Multiply by 6 to fill a pint jar; use 2½–3 tablespoons per pound of chicken.
  • Mild: Omit the cayenne. Spicy: Increase cayenne or add red pepper flakes.
  • This is a close copycat; the store packet also contains wheat flour and chicken-broth powder.
