Crockpot Chicken Chili Recipe

Crockpot Chicken Chili is a true family favorite meal! You can make this in a Crockpot or on the stove and still have a warm bowl of juicy chicken, white beans, green chilies, and sweet corn in every spoonful.

This chicken crockpot meal is so easy and delicious you'll love having it as part of our monthly meal plan! 

It is one of my favorite dishes to serve on a chilly day and it makes a nice big pot, perfect for a crowd or party guests. 

Easy White Chicken Chili

This is called white chicken chili because the “sauce” is not a deep red like regular beef or vegetable chili. This is due to beans, chicken, and broth instead of ground beef, dark beans, and tomato sauce. 

It is very easy to put together and only takes about 10 minutes to prepare the ingredients and put all in a  slow cooker! Cook on low for 4 hours in the crockpot to meld all the delicious flavors together!

How do you make chicken chili thicker?

Believe it or not, this chicken chili recipe stays on the thicker side when cooking in the crockpot. The secret is to make sure you due to not rinse the beans! Just open the cans and pour them in! 

Can You Freeze Crockpot Chicken Chili?

Yes! This meal freezes exceptionally well! I've made it ahead of time for parties along with my sausage and peppers and placed in the freezer. Use a large Tupperware or Rubbermaid container after cooking and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

What goes with white chicken chili??

This tastes great all on its own, but you can also serve it with 

  • tossed green salad
  • cornbread
  • over egg noodles
  • over tortilla chips or nachos
  • shredded cheese and sour cream

I really think this is the best white chicken chili recipe out there. It is a nice healthy version and change of pace of the tomato-based version. Don't get me wrong, I love both types of chili, I'm just glad I can switch it up every now and then!
