How to Make the Recipe

Making this crockpot white chili chicken is as easy as 1-2-3! Here’s how:

2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
3. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
4. Add the heavy cream and sour cream to the chili, stirring until well mixed. Allow it to heat through for an additional 15-20 minutes on low.
5. Ladle the creamy white chicken chili into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your white chicken chili with beans turns out perfectly:

• For a little extra kick, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
• If you prefer a no bean white chicken chili, simply omit the white beans and add more corn instead.
• Feel free to substitute the chicken with turkey or even a plant-based protein for a healthier twist.
• For a heartier meal, serve it over rice or with some crusty bread.
