Chicken – I’m using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. No need to chop them up either, they’ll get perfectly tender and shreddable in the slow cooker. You could also use boneless chicken thighs for this!
Veggies – This white chicken chili is packed with lots of great veggies! You’ll start with some diced onion and minced garlic. You’ll also be adding in canned corn, and canned Great Northern Beans.
Peppers – A can of diced green chiles is going to add good flavor and a bit of spice to the chili. I’m also adding in one small minced jalapeno. That is optional if you don’t want too much spice!
Chicken Broth – This will add even more savory chicken flavor, and it’ll make up the majority of the liquid in the chili.
Heavy Cream – This will get mixed up with the chicken broth to make the rich and creamy broth that the chicken and veggies will slow cook in.
Seasoning – You’ll need some standard chili seasoning ingredients including cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

How To Make White Chicken Chili in the Crockpot:
Combine: To begin this recipe you’ll basically just add all of the listed ingredients except for the heavy cream to your slow cooker. Once you’ve got the chicken, veggies, and seasonings in there stir it all up to combine.
Helpful Tip!
We like a little spice in our chili so we add one jalapeno. You may use more, less, or none depending on your preferences.
Slow Cook: When everything is well combined you can cover the crockpot and begin slow cooking the chili on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. By then the chicken should be perfectly fork tender!
Shred: Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them up with a couple of forks. You can then return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
Cream: Finally, pour in the heavy cream and stir it up until it’s combined with the rest of the chili. Cover the crockpot and let it cook on high for about 10 minutes to warm the cream and complete the chili.
Serve: This crockpot white chicken chili is best served with lots of good toppings! We like to add sliced avocado, tortilla strips, and fresh cilantro. Some other good choices include more jalapenos, sour cream, and cheese!
FAQs:
You can keep this chili stored in the fridge for about 4 days in an airtight container.
Yes, it’ll last for up to a couple of months if it is stored well in a freezer safe container or bag. You’ll want to let it thaw overnight before reheating!
I’d say it has a little spice but is not overly spicy The green chiles are very mild unless you buy the extra spicy kind. If you’re worried about it being too spicy just omit the jalapeno, the green chiles don’t add much heat at all!
