Crockpot White Chicken Chili

My comforting and easy-to-make crockpot white chicken chili is perfect for those cold weeknights ahead! I packed this chili with shredded chicken, white beans, corn, and plenty of Mexican flavor. It’s lighter but still just as comforting as any chili I’ve ever had, and I just love the fresh flavor. It’s so simple to make delicious chili in my crockpot!

Crockpot White Chicken Chili Recipe

I love, love, love white chicken chili. It’s a lighter, fresher take on a classic that’s still so comforting. Made with just a handful of ingredients, my crockpot white chicken chili is even easier than my stovetop recipe. All you need to do is chop a few veggies, then toss everything in the slow cooker, and let the chili do its thing. I like to add a thickening slurry made from broth and beans at the end to make this chili super rich, but that’s as complicated as it gets.
