White Chicken Chili

What is white chicken chili? I think everyone has a bit of a different definition for it – but it essentially a chicken soup recipe with beans and a white or broth base of some sort.

As with traditional chili I think everyone has their own special recipe and it is something that can be tweaked and never done ‘wrong’.

I started making this a few years ago when I needed an easy recipe for a bible study I host – my husband isn’t a huge fan of traditional chili so I thought I would try it – and we were hooked.

Over the years I have taken that original recipe and tweaked and changed it to be ‘perfect’ and I feel like it is finally time I write it out instead of trying to explain it each time

Why I love this Recipe

I am all about easy – honestly I tend to be an either ‘easy meals’ kind of cook or a baker. I don’t love to spend hours in the kitchen, and even more I don’t love making a million dishes.

This recipe takes ZERO dishes aside from the crockpot – and I even use the crockpot the night before to bake the corn bread – so it makes for the most mess free meal!

I also love that over time I have found a way to make this crockpot chili recipe please most of my family, and by using rotisserie chicken it is a crockpot recipe that can be added to the crockpot in the afternoon if you want. (mornings can be so hectic with 4 kids).

Recommended Equipment

This recipe is super simple and straight forward, and there is NO reason to go out and buy a new crockpot, but if you are looking for a new one, I am linking mine below.

I personally will be sharing several recipes you can make in that crockpot over the next few months, so if you own it be watching for those.

My Favorite Crockpot

Servings:

I will be honest – I am not super technical so I don know exactly how many servings there are in this, but I will say that I think you can easily feed 4 adults and 2 kids with this single recipe.

More people than that and I would likely double the recipe.

On that note – it does freeze very well – so if you are looking for a good freezer meal for a friend or family member this would be a WONDERFUL option.

White Chicken Chili Ingredients:

• Can of White beans
• Can of Black Beans
• Can of Rotel
• Can of Corn
• Jar of Salsa
• Chicken Broth
• Block of Cream Cheese
• 1 Packet ranch powder
• Spices: Cumin, Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder

How to Make White Chicken Chili:

This recipe is REALLY fast – like 10 minutes into the crockpot and push start! The recipe calls for you to set the crockpot to low – if you only have a couple hours you can easily set it to high and eat it much faster.

The chicken is cooked, so there is no harm in less cooking time, it is simply less time for the ingredients to come together for flavor.

1. Pour both cans of beans RINSED in the crockpot
2. Pour can of corn with liquid in crockpot
3. Pour can of Rotel in crockpot with liqid
4. Add 1/2 – full jar of salsa. This is fully preference, but I personally do 1/2.
5. Fill Rotel can 1.5 times with chicken broth and add.
6. Add all the chicken from 1 rotisserie chicken
7. Add spices
8. Stir it all
9. Add block of cream cheese on top
10. Put on the lid, set it to low and leave it to cook.
11. You let this cook for 4 hours and up – the chicken is cooked so it is up to you.
12. Stir before serving and add your garnishes to the bowls.

I personally serve mine with cornbread on the side and will be sharing my go to cornbread recipe next week here on the blog so keep a lookout for that.
