How to Make White Chicken Chili in the Crock Pot

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

This recipe is super simple and only requires a few things to prep. After all the ingredients are gathered, you will need to chop the onion and finely mince the jalapeno. If you don't want to add any extra spice to the chili, scrape the seeds and membranes out of the pepper with a spoon and then finely mince it. Then, drain and rinse the canned Northern Beans and open the green chilis.

Step 2: Add to Crock Pot

Add the chicken breast to the bottom of the crock pot and add in: chopped onions and jalapenos, beans, green chilis, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and cilantro. Pour in the chicken broth and give it all a gentle stir. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Step 3: Shred Chicken

Once the crock pot is done, set it to warm setting. You can shred the chicken one of two ways. Remove it from the crock pot and shred with 2 forks. Or you can simply break it up in the crock pot with a set of tongs and a fork. The chicken is so tender it just falls apart. Once the chicken is shredded, stir it together.

Step 4: Make it Creamy

Stir in the shredded cheese until melted, then stir in the sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve with your favorite toppings and a small side salad and you have a delicious meal in front of you!

Make this Chili an Easy Freezer Meal

This chili recipe makes a great freezer meal. Simply add all the ingredients except the sour cream and shredded cheese to a freezer safe gallon container or zip top bag. Label and date the bag and freeze it flat. This helps save freezer space. Take the chili out the night before and thaw in refrigerator. Next morning, dump the bag into the crock pot and follow the recipe directions for cook time and adding in the cheese and creamy elements.
