About the Recipe
Creamy Crockpot White Chicken Chili is so easy—just toss everything in! With sweet corn, chiles, chicken, white beans, and black beans it’s packed with flavor!
Ingredients
1 lb. House of Meats Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts
NOTE: Chicken Thighs are best—they add more flavor and become tender, shredding easily. Breasts have less flavor and can dry out if overcooked. Be sure the chicken is fully thawed before cooking.
1 (10-ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1.5 cups frozen corn
2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chiles mild
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups chicken stock or broth, for a thicker chili, use 1 cup of stock.
1 - 8 oz. Crean Cheese, softened
¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
1 large lime
Optional toppings - See “Don’t skip the toppings!”
Preparation
Step 1:
Lightly spray the inside of a 6-quart Crock-Pot with cooking spray.
Step 2:
Add all the ingredients listed above into the Crock-Pot. Stir gently to mix everything together, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged.
Step 3:
Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
Step 4:
Remove the chicken from the Crock-Pot and place it in a bowl. Use two forks to shred the meat. Set aside for now.
Step 5:
Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 1 minute. Return it to the Crock-Pot and whisk vigorously until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6:
Stir the shredded chicken back into the Crock-Pot. Mix in fresh cilantro and, if desired, 1 to 2 tablespoons of lime juice for an extra zing.
Step 7:
Finally, fold in:
2 (15.5-ounce) cans of Great Northern beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (15.5-ounce) can of black beans
Tip: Add the beans toward the end of the cooking time so they warm through without becoming mushy.
Step 8:
Don’t skip the toppings! Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes. Popular options include sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, avocado, jalapeños, or tortilla strips. Don’t skip the toppings—they really elevate the flavor!
