This simple one skillet Creamy White Chicken Chili Corn Dip incorporates all the flavors of my favorite white chicken chili into the creamiest, cheesiest corn-filled dip. Perfect for late summer parties and fall game-day festivities. Made with poblano peppers, sweet corn, beans, shredded chicken, and of course, with cheese on top. It’s spicy, creamy, and so delicious. Serve this up dip-style with a sprinkle of fresh toppings and tortilla chips on the side for scooping.
We’ve got one last extra cheesy corn recipe for these early September days. It’s crazy that tomorrow is September first. But with September now here, both the start of fall and the beginning of football season are upon us.
Of course, we still have plenty of warm days left. But September is always so exciting with everything we have to look forward to. Game days with friends cheering on our favorite teams. Crisp fall days, apple picking, and enjoying cider doughnuts. Then on to Halloween fun, and, of course, the holiday season.
I love fall so much. And I love this recipe. It’s the perfect transitional recipe. Great for end-of-summer days and perfect for fall entertaining.
I adapted the recipe based on my white chicken chili I made last season. Over the last year, that chili has become a staple. It’s my favorite chili recipe and most of my family’s too.
The details
To put it simply, this is white chili minus any broth and made with the addition of cream cheese, sour cream, and cheese. It’s all made and baked in one skillet in less than an hour’s time.
Cook the onion and vegetables until they smell fragrant. Then turn off the heat and add the creamy things – cream cheese, and sour cream. Mix in sweet corn, beans, salsa verde, and a handful of shredded chicken.
At this point, you can bake the dip in the skillet, assuming it’s oven safe. I love to use my Staub cast iron skillet for this.
If you don’t have an oven-safe dish, transfer the dip to a baking dish. I did end up transferring my dip to a baking dish, but only for photo purposes. Otherwise, I would have kept the dip in my skillet!
Now top with cheese and bake until the cheese is melty and the dip is bubbling up the sides.
I always top this with chunks of avocado, fresh cilantro, and green onions. Then a couple of dollops of plain greek yogurt on top are pretty delicious too. Oh, and tortillas chips are a must for scooping. A must.
That’s pretty much it. Simple ingredients, but every scoop of creamy, cheesy dip is so delicious. Think a little spicy, very creamy, filled with lots of sweet corn, topped cheese, and then all those toppings. I love a simple appetizer that shocks people with its deliciousness.
We’re ready for game days ahead!

I have made this every Thanksgiving for the past several years! It’s a slam dunk and is requested. So delicious. My 15 year old son is going to be in charge of it this year. Thanks for the recipe and now the tradition.
Hey Kate,
Fantastic! I appreciate you making this recipe each year and your feedback, love to hear it always turns out well! Have a great weekend!
Very good! Next time I’ll add some jalapeno peppers and more salsa verde to give it a little extra kick. Thank you for all of your great recipes!
Hey Sharon,
Amazing! Love to hear this recipe turned out nicely for you, thanks for making it! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
can i make this ahead, but bake it later?
like mix it all up, put it in the fridge and bake right before ready to serve?
Hey Elizabeth,
Totally, that will work well for you! I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xT
This was delicious. I did use this recipe as a base for a cooler cleaner, but it worked really well. I had a ton of leftover corn mixed with garbanzos from a salad, added fresh spinach, and cut all the dairy in half. The avocado mixed with cilantro, scallions, and lime is a hit!
I know, I know…not exactly the recipe but really close!
This made a ton so I will freeze half for another day.
Great recipe, thank you!
Hi Roberta,
Thank you so much for making this recipe and your feedback, so glad to hear it was a winner! Happy Sunday! xT
I make this for every party I host!! My guests always love it and have come to expect it when I’m hosting, everyone is obsessed! I’m wondering if you think I could make it in advance and freeze it, then bake it day of? If so, do you think it best to thaw it first or bake it from frozen?
Hey Jessica,
Thanks so much for making this recipe so often and your feedback! Yes, I think freezing this would work well for you, I would thaw before baking. I hope this helps! xT
I love this recipe! It’s a great combination of flavors and textures. Have now made it 3 times in the last 4 months. It is so easy to throw together for me, as I tend to have shredded chicken in the freezer, along with the other ingredients in my fridge and pantry (I sub 2 cans of corn for fresh corn). It is perfect leftover for lunch.
Hey Betsy,
Awesome!! So glad to hear this recipe turned out well for you, thanks a lot for making it! xT
Hi! Can you use frozen corn?!
Yes you can use frozen corn! xT
So yummy! Was a hit at my potluck. I prepped it a day ahead and baked it right before, and it turned out great. It makes a lot, so I had some to keep for myself as well!
Hey Alana,
Happy Sunday!! Thanks a bunch for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad to hear that it turned out well for you:)
Hi! Can I make this a day ahead and reheat before serving?
Hi Alana,
Totally, that would be just fine for you to do! I hope you love this recipe! xx
Hi! Should the corn be raw or cooked when added to the other ingredients?
Hi Brenda,
The corn will be raw:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
This was incredible!! I made this for a fall potluck party and it was devoured! This is a my new go-to for any party or friends get together.
I used green bell peppers because I had them on hand. I may throw in a jalapeño next time for a little spice!
This was truly delicious and I’m already craving it again!
Thank you so much for giving this recipe a try! Hope you’re having a great Halloween weekend! 🙂 xT
Hi! Can I make this in a crockpot? I want to bring it to a party on Saturday but not sure if it will stay hot otherwise. I haven’t tried this recipe yet but so excited! Thank you!
Hey Lindsay,
Totally, that will work well for you! I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xT
Hi! Did you make it in a crockpot and did that work out well? I’m thinking of doing the same. Thanks!:)
Hi- wondering if canned corn is ok if fresh is out of season? And if using fresh do you cook it first or does it cook when baked?
Yep, canned corn will work just fine! xT
Thank you!
I made this for Thanksgiving last year and got in trouble for not brining it again this year. So I’ve been tasked with making it for Christmas. It’s SO good. Thank you for this slam dunk.
Could you make this in the crockpot? I have a tailgate coming up (i’m in Michigan) so would love to be able to keep it warm! Thanks in advance!!
Hi there! Yes, you definitely could do it in the crockpot! xT
Hi! If you tried this in a crockpot could you let me know how it turned out for you and if you remember any details of how you did it? Thanks!
That was absolutely amazing!!!! My husband thought it was outstanding.
Awesome!! Love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed! Have a great week! xT
Is cheese supposed to be mixed into the mix, in addition to sprinkling on top?
Just on top, but you can definitely mix it in if you’d like! xT
This is excellent! I made it tonight for a small church home group and they loved it. I still have quite a bit left. Do you think it’s OK to freeze it? I did use half of one poblano pepper because I was concerned with the spiciness. Everyone in the group asked for the recipe!!
Hey T, what kind of “white beans” are used here? There’s a bunch of diff kinds. Are these Kidney beans that you used? Or navy?
Thanks!
Hi there! I usually use navy beans or cannellini beans! xT
Could you do this in a crock pot?
Hey Kathryn, I haven’t personally tried this in a crockpot so can’t say for sure!
