A cozy, creamy slow cooker white chicken chili made with simple ingredients and minimal prep, perfect for busy days and comforting meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)
  • 2 cans white beans (15 oz / 425 g each), drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken broth (720 ml), low-sodium recommended
  • 1 can green chilies (4 oz / 115 g)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120 ml) or Greek yogurt as a substitute
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the white beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium and canning liquid.
  2. Open the can of green chilies and set aside.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
  4. Add the drained beans and green chilies on top of the chicken.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth.
  6. Sprinkle onion powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the ingredients. Do not stir.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  8. Remove the chicken breasts and shred them with two forks or tongs.
  9. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  10. Stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  12. Cook on low uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to meld flavors and thicken slightly.
  13. Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, chopped green onions, avocado slices, or tortilla chips.

Notes

Rinsing the beans helps keep the chili creamy and less salty. Layering chicken on the bottom ensures even cooking. Add sour cream only after shredding chicken to avoid curdling. Adjust seasoning at the end. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut milk. Optional add-ins include lime juice, cilantro, jalapeños, or cayenne pepper for heat.
