If you love dump-and-go recipes, this one is for you! Throw in all the ingredients and 5 hours later you have a delicious warm and cozy dinner the family will love! Add on your favorite toppings and dinner is served.

Ingredients for White Bean Chicken Chili:

  • Chicken– I prefer breasts (bone-in works too) but you can also use thighs.
  • Seasonings– Cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Yellow Onion– These are the best variety of onions to use when used in a dish that cooks for a long time.
  • Beans– You can use any white bean (navy, great northern, cannellini, baby lima) but I prefer great northern. Feel free to use a mix.
  • Corn– I highly recommend fire roasted (Trader Joe’s is amazing!) but regular frozen or from a can works too.
  • Green Chilies– I use mild and still find it has plenty of heat. If you don’t like much heat, use only a 4oz can of mild. If you like things hotter go up a level.
  • Garlic– Fresh crushed garlic is always recommended but you can use jarred or powder (1/8 teaspoon for each clove).
  • Chicken Broth– You can use canned/boxed stock or water mixed with bouillon. I always use Better Than Bouillon and have found it most affordable at Costco.
  • Sour Cream– Adds creaminess and cuts some of the heat.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream– Adds more creaminess. Can be substituted with half-and-half.

Toppings for Chili:

  • Avocado– Sliced or made into guacamole.
  • Cheese– Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, cheddar, white cheddar…
  • Chips– tortilla chips or Fritos.
  • Cilantro– Adds so much flavor and freshness.
  • Jalapeno– For those of you who can handle the heat!
  • Lime– A little squeeze of lime juice is never a bad idea.
  • Sour Cream– The more cream, the better!

How to make White Chicken Chili:

Time needed: 7 hours and 10 minutes.

This White Chicken Chili Recipe is so easy to throw together and tastes amazing! Make it for the family or for sharing at a fall/winter potluck.

  1. Fill Slow Cooker

    Place chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker and sprinkle with seasonings.
    Layer on the onions, beans, corn, green chilies, and garlic. Pour in the broth.

  2. Cook

    Cover with lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

  3. Make cream mixture

    Whisk the sour cream and whipping cream together and refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. Shred Chicken

    When chili is done cooking, remove the chicken and shred. Add the chicken back in along with the cream mixture and stir in.

  5. Garnish & Serve

    Serve topped with desired toppings: avocado, cheese, chips, cilantro, jalapeno, lime, and/or sour cream.

TOOLS USED TO MAKE THIS CREAMY WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE:

  • Slow Cooker– This is very similar to the one I use but it has the addition of a lockable lid which is awesome for when you are transporting food for a party or potluck, especially soup.
  • Cutting Board– I love having various sizes of cutting boards and these are awesome because they won’t slip and slide around on the counter.
  • Mesh Strainer– I love these mesh strainers and use it all the time. The middle size one is the perfect size for straining a can of beans and rinsing them off.
