Ingredients

  • 1 (4 to 6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeños
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup canned cannellini beans -rinsed and drained
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped cilantro, or sliced avocados.

Instructions

  • Place the chicken into a slow cooker. Stir in the chopped onions, jalapeños, broth, beans, and seasonings.
  • Cover and cook the white chicken chili on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6.
  • Remove the lid of the slow cooker and shred the chicken with two forks.
    Pro Tip: To shred chicken with two forks, hold one fork in each hand. Use one fork to hold the chicken in place and use the second fork to scrape at the piece of chicken to pull it apart.
  • Transfer the chili to a bowl. Top with sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced avocados, and any other desired toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips
  • If you prefer more kick to your chili, I recommend adding a few dashes of hot sauce or more chopped jalapeños.
  • To thicken white chicken chili, remove the chicken from the slow cooker after it has cooked and blend part of the beans with an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender, place a ladleful in a food processor or a blender. You can also use a potato masher.
  • To make creamy white chicken chili, simply stir the sour cream into the soup. Feel free to add a little extra if you'd like.
