How to Make White Chicken Chili

This is the BEST white chicken chili recipe for the crockpot. Whether served for a quiet weeknight family dinner or for a crowd at your next game day party, it’s easy, healthy, and delicious!

The Ingredients

Chicken Breasts. Lean, juicy, and tender, family-friendly chicken is the traditional choice for white chili recipes.White Beans. Add additional protein and texture to this dish. Great Northern, cannellini, or white kidney beans all work well.

Chicken Stock. To better control the seasoning, I always opt for reduced-sodium chicken stock for soup and chili recipes (like this Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup).

Garlic + Onion. For zip, zing, and a little bite. When time allows, I like to saute the onion to mellow it out before adding it to the crock pot, but you can dump-and-go if that’s your speed.Green Chiles. Keep this white chicken chili family-friendly—providing the flavor of chili peppers without adding a ton of heat. It’s also the key ingredient in Chile Verde Pork.

Cumin + Oregano. A classic spice duo for chili (as seen in this Whole30 Chili) that amps up the yum factor.Cayenne. For a little extra kick (add more to taste).Cilantro. For color and liveliness. If you’re one of those cilantro haters, feel free to omit.Lime. For a blast of citrus and acidity to balance the rich texture of the chili and wake everything up.
