How to make Crockpot White Chicken Chili
Since easy meal ideas are a must for busy stages of life, crockpots are lifesavers and the best thing about this recipe is that it is basically a dump and go kind of meal. Plus, add a crockpot liner for easy clean-up, and look forward to a nice relaxing night!
- In a 6 quart or larger crockpot/slow cooker, add all ingredients but the cream cheese and garnishes: the chicken breast, Great Northern beans, corn(drained), Rotel, water, bouillon cubes, onion, and spices to your crockpot. I repeat: do not add cream cheese!
- You can subsitute out the water and bouillon cubes for 3 cups of chicken broth.
- We use a mild Rotel to keep the spice and kick at a level that the kids enjoy. However, if you enjoy more spice maybe add the medium or hot Rotel instead.
- Want a thicker white chicken chili? Try blending half the beans before adding them to the soup. If you dont have a immersion blender, try doing two batches in your normal blender for best results. This is also a great way to fool the non-bean lovers.
- Cook this on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8.
- When your chicken is done(internal temperture being 165 degrees Fahrenheit), remove chicken and shred it using a fork. Replace it back into the crockpot.
- I often cheat and shred the chicken with a hand held mixer too. So easy and fast!
- Cut cream cheese into smaller cubes, add it to the soup, and stir it until it dissolves into the broth.
- Garnish with your favortie tops and serve!
- Garnishes are unlimited! Simple corn chips for some salty crunch. Sour cream and mild shredded cheddar cheese are a safe bet. Or go spicy and do sliced jalapenos.
