White Bean Chicken Chili

This healthy & hearty White Bean Chicken Chili is absolutely delicious and easy to make in the slow cooker. It’s not spicy but it is full of flavor!

This White Bean Chicken Chili is one of the most delicious recipes I have made lately. It’s amazing how something that you throw in a pot together can come out so delicious and it’s healthy at the same time!

Most chicken chili recipes calls for chicken thighs but I made it a little more healthy and used boneless & skinless chicken breast. I also omitted the sour cream as a topping but you’re more than welcome to use it if that’s your thing……or you could use non fat greek yogurt as a healthy alternative 🙂

What’s in this Chicken Chili?

The key for a great meal is to use high quality, fresh ingredients as much as possible. For this recipe we’ll use a few ingredients that most likely you already have in your pantry or fridge.

The stars of this recipe are the chicken and beans. We’ll use boneless, skinless chicken breast (uncooked) since it’s low in fat and high in protein. For beans use preferably cannellini, white kidney, or great northern. Your choice 🙂

The veggies are onion, jalapeño, fresh garlic (avoid the jar stuff), a can of green chiles, and frozen corn (fire roasted preferably). Must have toppings are avocado & cilantro….do not skip the avocado!

The spices are ground cumin, ground coriander, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.

Also homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth. Note: when buying chicken broth, do not buy the canned stuff. The ones in boxes have much better flavor!

Serve with tortilla chips or cornbread

How Do You Make White Bean Chicken Chili?

It can’t get easier than this! Just add all of your ingredients in your slow cooker except the beans and corn. Cover, and cook on high 4 hours or low 6–8 hours.

During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the beans and corn; cover and cook on high 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Shred chicken in slow cooker with 2 forks.

To serve top with avocado and cilantro. Fresh lime juice and cornbread are optional but highly recommended.

And you may be asking, what size crockpot should I use?

I have a 6 quart crockpot and everything fit in there perfectly!

I hope you enjoy it friends!
