This was my second attempt at making white chicken chili. The first time, no. Just no. It was bad. Like real bad. However that was several years ago when I was an amateur at cooking. Honestly, if it weren’t for my hubby I would be making ramen noodles on the regular for dinner. 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I like ramen noodles. I basically lived on them in college, but didn’t most of us?
Anyway, my second attempt at white chicken chili was WAY better! It is delicious and I’ll definitely be making it more often. I’ve actually made it twice since then. Bonus, I made it in a crockpot which means minimal cleanup. That’s a big win in my book. 🙌🏼
If you’re looking for an easy meal follow my 5 step recipe below.
Ingredients
1 lb. boneless chicken breasts
3 cups of chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup of flour
4 – 7oz cans of diced green chiles
1 – 8oz package of cream cheese
1 – 15oz can of whole kernel corn, drained
2 – 15oz cans of white chili beans drained
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 stick of butter
Herbs & Spices
2 tbsp of cumin
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp of garlic powder
1.5 tbsp of fresh parsley
1.5 tbsp of chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Step 1: Gather all the ingredients. This is the most time consuming part.
Step 2: Slice the chicken.
Step 3: Add all the ingredients to the crockpot EXCEPT the beans and corn then turn the crockpot on to low heat.
Step 4: Let the chili cook for 6 hours or until the chicken can be easily shredded with a fork.
Step 5: Add the beans and corn and cook for an additional 30 minutes. That’s it!
I topped the chili with sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, sour cream, & cayenne pepper but toppings are completely optional, but it’s good either way! I served it with corn bread.
And that’s a wrap! I would love to know if you make it. You can comment below or message me on Instagram if you have any questions.
Until next time. Xo

This sounds so delicious! I hardly ever cook (luckily I also have a husband who does) but this sounds easy enough for me!

Thank you! Yes it’s so good and so easy! I usually make it on a weekend. As soon as I get up I put it together and it’s ready at dinner time.

Made this recipe tonight to ring in our first day of fall weather, and it did not disappoint! I used half of the amt of beans (my preference) and 4 – 4oz cans of the diced green chiles (instead of 7oz). We opted to test the spice before adding cayenne or jalapenos and we did not need it. This chili carried the PERFECT amount of spice for us, enough for my husband to go back for seconds. Definitely give it a try!
