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?




YES! I cannot wait to make this recipe!
It’s a MUST make! So easy and tasty….
I am getting a slow cooker soon! And one of the first things I will make is this
If you make it , it will be love at first sight with your slow cooker
I like using boca meatless crumbles, tofu shiratake noodles (40 cals a bag!), chunks of butternut squash/beets, and chili seasoning in my chili (http://caloricandcrazy.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/not-sure-of-what-to-do-with-myself-but-eat/). Corn is a must as well!
White bean chili sounds delicious!
I really need to start making more stuff with butternut squash!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. I love my slow cooker, and I love chili. This recipe might be happening this weekend, though I doubt it’ll last for 5 servings.
haha, more like 3 servings if the husband ate all of it
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!
I meant really GOOD vegetarian too… typing issues… =)
I’d love to get the chili verde! I’m sending you an email
I love my crockpot!! This is amazing and totally getting bookmarked!
It’s delish! You gotta make it
Sounds like a delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing
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.
I’m gonna find your tortilla soup
I have yet to try a white chili!! I love chilis…and I actually have TWO slow cookers in my kitchen, so I better make this sometime soon!
Yup, you need to make this
love the title
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.
Pork roast would be a good idea!
So, I don’t eat chicken, but if I did I would be all over this! Putting the chicken in the crock pot was a very good idea!!
You can make sans-chicken and it would still be really tasty!
I love my crockpot! This chili looks amazing! I’m definitely going to have to try it.
It’s a must-try! SO good!
I’ve been looking for a really good white chili recipe, FOUND!!! Thank you so much, can’t wait to try it!
It’s SO delicious!
