I’m Dreaming of a White Chili

In Florida we don’t have White Christmas, so I’ll happily take the White Chicken Chili instead. I’m devoting today’s WIAW to one of my favorite cold weather foods…Chili. I found a new recipe that I adapted a little bit. This is a slow cooker recipe…for those of you that don’t have one, you need one! Hehe. My Crockpot has saved me so much time and produced excellent recipes.


Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Makes about 5 servings.

2 15-oz cans cannelini Beans
1 15-oz can Great Northern Beans
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 4-oz can diced green chilies
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 to 1.25 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 1/2 cups chicken broth

  • Rinse and drain the beans. Place them in a slow cooker. Add the onions, garlic, chilies, spices, and salt, and stir to combine.
  • Place the chicken breasts over the top, and pour in the chicken broth.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove the chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, using a couple of forks, place back in the slow cooker with the rest of the goodies.
  • You can serve this with all kinds of stuff…over rice, with chips, with sour cream. My choice was Guacamole and a sprinkle of cheddar.

I gobbled it up in no time…and Jay kept saying “oh yeah”. Then I knew it was a hit!

Do you use a slow cooker? Any good chili ideas?

  1. I love white chili – and yours looks so good! It’s actually really vegetarian too!

    I made my chile verde in the slow cooker – it is SO good and the perfect winter meal! Email me if you’d like the recipe!

  2. I will be trying that recipe! I love soup in the crockpot in the winter. I think I posted my tortilla soup recipe on my blog not too long ago. It makes an awesome crockpot meal.

  3. I love my slow-cooker! I just hate how heavy and big it is…makes it hard to clean. I usually make soup or stew in the slow-cookier. And once in a blue moon I make a pork roast for JP.
