Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Hello Friends! I hope you are having a great week! The weather is definitely changing as the cool breeze hits in the afternoon and evenings. It is on evenings like these that I look forward to a warm and comforting meal.

Why This Recipe

Today’s Slow cooker chili recipe is an easy one when you are looking for a tasty chili for dinner or game day. The recipe just takes a few ingredients and what I love is that it usually makes enough for leftovers. 

This is a wonderful way to celebrate the season using your crock pot. Made with a few simple ingredients and a jar of salsa verde, this is a great dinner this time of year.  

Chili recipes are so versatile and this one is no exception. We eat the leftovers as is and sometimes over a baked potato for a second hearty meal. 

This is one of those slow cooker recipes you will have on repeat throughout the year. 

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili Recipe

Chili is one of those dishes that is always comforting and always easy. It is also easy to change up a bit and make it a little different once in a while.Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili Ingredients

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili Ingredients

Chicken – I recommend boneless chicken breasts for this recipe. You can use a rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken. 

Beans – This recipe uses two types - pinto and cannellini beans (white beans - also known as great northern beans). The mixture of the two beans adds a nice flavor to the chili. 

Broth – I like to use low-sodium chicken broth. You can always add more salt if you need to but at least you can control the amount a bit. You can also use broth you make yourself. You can also use chicken stock.

Salsa Verde - a salsa made with green chilis that is mild in flavor.

Seasonings - cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper

Equipment & Kitchen Tools 

  • Slow cooker or crockpot

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts

  • Chop the celery and onions earlier in the day (or week) and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. It saves time if you can meal plan and do this just once during the week for all of your meals.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save some time.
  • Shred the cheese ahead of time (and cilantro too) so that the toppings are ready when you are. Sometimes I chop a bit of onion for topping too!
  • Double the recipe and freeze in individual portions for a quick future meal.

Variations, Notes, and Substitutions

  •  Serve with your favorite toppings such as chopped green onions, chopped bell pepper, fresh jalapenos, avocado slices and red pepper flakes (for an extra kick).
  • Serve with tortilla chips or crackers. This chili also goes great with cornbread. 
  • You can substitute red onion or green onion 

Serving, Storage & Leftover Suggestions

Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
