Crockpot White Chicken Chili is a creamy, hearty slow cooker meal made with tender chicken, white beans, green chiles, and warming spices. It’s perfect for busy weeknights and cozy weekends.

Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (Great Northern or cannellini), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Place chicken, white beans, green chiles, onion, garlic, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper into the crockpot.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks.
  4. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add cream cheese and sour cream or heavy cream, stirring until fully melted and combined.
  5. Cook on low for an additional 10–15 minutes to thicken and meld flavors.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve hot with desired toppings like shredded cheese, cilantro, jalapeños, or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a faster version—just reduce cook time accordingly.
  • For a spicier chili, add diced jalapeños or extra chili powder.
  • Make it dairy-free with coconut cream or skip the cream and cheese altogether.
  • To thicken the chili, mash some of the beans or cook uncovered at the end.
