White Chicken Chili
December 2, 2010 in chicken
It’s cold. Like, really cold. Yesterday morning I got up early to go to the grocery store and my car doors were frozen shut. Then I sat in the car for 15 minutes wishing I had the spatula that I used to keep in my Camaro to scrape ice off the windshield. Ice scraper? Who needs one.
Chili is always my go-to when it’s cold and luckily it doesn’t get this cold often down here or else we’d probably be really sick of chili. So yesterday after our very frozen grocery outing, chili was the obvious choice. I put a big (crock)pot on and got to smell it’s deliciousness all day.
This turned out fantastic. It was flavorful but not too spicy and oh so warming. What I love about chili, though, is how adaptable it is. I can’t handle a lot of heat so I just used the canned green chilies but if you like it super spicy, some fresh jalapenos would be perfect. Not into the slow cooker thing? Make it on your stove! Just cook the chicken beforehand and you’ll be able to throw the chili together in no time!

Instructions
- Add everything to slow cooker and give it a stir. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. Serve nice and steamy, topped with cheese, sour cream, or cilantro if you like
I love how easy chili is or really almost any slow cooker dish. Definitely a great cold weather meal. And really Amanda… a spatula? lol

This looks delish perfect for this time of year!
haha Yes! You must find your chicken’s brother and use it! ;)
I made some cornbread with it and it was delicious! I’m such biscuits would be just as yummy.
This sound delicious. I know what I’m making over the weekend! Thanks Amanda for the great idea.
Mmmmm, this looks great! I’m all about cozy meals like this in the winter.

You know, you never did like the cold! I LOVE nothing more than making soups/stews/chilis on cold days and being able to smell it all day. We’re having a VERY cold front come through on Sunday……I think I’ll make some “Saints White Chicken Chili” on Sunday!!! Geaux Saints!!!!! We’re supposed to have only THREE on the injured list this weekend!!! WooooHoooo! I smell the playoffs – start thinking of some good stuff I can make for that!

Should I drain the canned beans & green chili?
Yes, drain the beans. My green chilies didn’t have a lot of liquid so I didn’t drain them but if yours do, you might want to drain them.
Thanks for commenting! :)
My favorite holiday treat is mint flavored anything :-)

Hmm this seems really easy! I have a holiday party on the 9th…do you think I should make this or should I bring a sweet treat? I need fast & easy this time of year lol
Just made this today, and it’s awesome! I didn’t use the slow cooker because I didn’t have time, so I just added more broth to compensate. Thanks!
Just found this on Pinterest and made it today (guess I’m late to the game lol). It’s awesome! I didn’t make it in the slow cooker because I didn’t have time, so I just added more broth to compensate. Thanks!
Haha, sorry, got an error on the first comment, but I guess they both posted.
Could anyone tell me how many servings this makes, I’m making this for about 80 people and I need to know how many to multiply by…thanks for any help!!
