We adore the flavor of McCormick white chili seasoning mix, but it’s become harder and harder to find over the years! As such, we reproduced the taste and created our own homemade white chili seasoning mix.
White chili seasoning mix is a robust blend of onion, cumin, garlic, oregano, cilantro, and chili peppers. The seasoning mix is perfect for whipping up a pot of white (chicken or turkey) chili in less than twenty minutes.

When Cilantro is referred to in the recipe is it the dried leaves of the cilantro or the ground seeds (corriander)?
Cilantro.
Good Morning everybody, can anyone recommend where I can purchase the original McCormick white chili seasoning mix? I want to make both to see how closely the copycat resembles the real deal.
Hi Charlie, usually you can find the seasoning mix at your favorite local grocery store, but in the event that they’re out or your store doesn’t carry it at all, it’s available here on amazon. (Although it’s not exactly cheap!).
Let us know how you like the copycat!
How many servings does the chili recipe make?
Not bad at all – almost the same! It has just a tad more spiciness to it and it lacks any salt, but this has got to be about as close to perfect as it gets. Thanks!
