Crockpot White Chicken Chili

Crockpot white chicken chili is creamy and delicious with just the right amount of heat. It is an easy meal for a busy day.

This white chicken chili features tender chicken, hearty beans, and a creamy flavorful broth. It cooks in a slow cooker all day while you go about your business and dinner is ready when you are.

Great Chili Variations

We are big chili fans during the fall and winter. We love a bowl of good venison chili and sometimes we get a little adventurous with pumpkin chili or even crockpot pulled pork chili.

When we are feeling like something creamy and delicious, we make a pot of white chicken chili. That recipe has been a favorite in my family for as long as I can remember.

I had been craving it, but had a full day planned. So instead of making it on the stove, I adapted the recipe for the crockpot and it was every bit as good as the original.

Now we will be making this on regular rotation during the week. All you have to do when you get home from work is cut the chicken and stir in some sour cream and half and half.

You will be enjoying a hot bowl of soup in no time. Then you will thank yourself for prepping the meal before you left the house in the morning.

Substitution and Addition Ideas

The chopped mild green chilies in this recipe add a nice mild to medium heat. You can use hot green chilies or even diced jalapenos if you like more heat.

For less heat, just use one 4 oz. can of chopped green chilies or omit them all together.

Some people like corn in their chicken chili. You can use a drained can of sweet corn or a cup of two of frozen corn. Just add it with the beans.

You can use leftover chicken or turkey in this recipe. Just stir it in at the end of the cook time and give it a chance to warm up before adding the dairy.

Topping Ideas

You can serve this chili with any of your favorite toppings. We like sour cream and pickled jalapenos on ours.

You can also add shredded cheese, Monterey jack or pepper jack would be good options.

A wedge of lime would add some freshness, or try some chopped cilantro or green onions if you prefer.

Tortilla chips or toasted tortilla chips would be great options as well. You can get directions on making tortilla strips on my recipe for chicken tortilla soup.

Some homemade corn muffins would be a good side dish or whip up a batch of skillet cornbread. If you are feeling extra fancy, try some loaded cornbread with bacon and jalapenos.

Let your taste buds be your guide, it really is hard to go wrong here.
