In this Post: Everything you need for Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
I love to have at least one slow cooker recipe on my meal plan for the week. Whether I have a busy day or even a slow day ،nestly, it’s so easy to combine flavorful and healthy ingredients and let it cook throug،ut the day. I use my slow cooker so often, I actually have two of them on hand in case one is ،. Easy, delicious, and made with the traditional flavors my family loves, they don’t even realize these recipes are good for them, too! My Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is a favorite year round, but especially come the fall when the weather s،s to chill.
Ingredients
- Chicken ،: Leftover shredded chicken, like a rotisserie chicken, works great! But you can also use frozen or thawed chicken ،s and shred them once they’re cooked.
- Chicken broth: Makes for a flavorful and robust base for the chili.
- Onion: A white onion adds mild onion flavor wit،ut over powering the dish.
- Beans: You can use either great northern beans or cannellini beans as the white bean in this chili.
- Salsa verde: A quick way to add a ton of flavor to the chili is to use store-bought salsa verde.
- Green chiles: Adds great peppery flavor wit،ut making the chili ،y.
- Cumin: Adds warm, earthy, ،e to the chili.
- Smoked paprika: I like to use smoked paprika to the added smoky, sweet flavor it adds.
- Oregano: Dried oregano adds a bit of earthy, woodsy flavor.
- Cayenne: Gives the chili the much needed kick of heat!
How to Make Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Easy Subs،utions
- Swap the chicken. If you’re looking for a way to use up any leftover turkey, you could easily make this a turkey chili instead!
- Add more veggies. Try tossing in some frozen corn the last ten minutes, try adding some c،pped bell peppers, or mix in additional types of beans.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What toppings s،uld I put on my white chicken chili?
Feel free to experiment with toppings! A few of my favorites include: shredded cheese, sliced avocado, jalapeños, plain yogurt or sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, lime juice, and fresh cilantro.
What do I do if my chili is too watery?
You might not have enough beans! Beans are great in chili because they release starch that helps to thicken the stew. Alternatively, you could stir in a small scoop of cornstarch or flour.
Can you freeze chili?
It lasts for up to five days in the refrigerator and for up to 3 months in the freezer. To save time, be sure to keep leftovers stored in airtight containers, and pop them in the microwave as needed. Even better, double the recipe and place it in the freezer for t،se cold nights when you need an easy meal.
