Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is ultra creamy with lots of southwestern spices. Serve with Frito Chips and you have a great gameday chili.

White Chicken Chili cooked in a crock pot is flavored with southwestern spices and makes a hearty and tasty meal with plenty of spice. This isn’t your ordinary chili. With a block of cream cheese, this is chili creamy style. And it makes the perfect comfort food.

Winter weather came late to South Carolina. I think we had the warmest December on record. But it is finally here. And when the cold weather sets in, there’s no better way to warm up than a bowl of chili. Especially if it has lots of spice and flavor.

This White Chicken Chili is the perfect change-up from a tomato-based chili. I could eat it once a week and not get tired of it.

Most of the seasoning comes from a packet of taco seasoning which makes flavoring the chili super easy. I’ve also added a diced jalapeno and a can of diced green chilies for more spice.

Northern beans add some substance and are in keeping with the “white” theme of this chili.

In addition to cream cheese, Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili also has cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese for plenty of cheesiness.

How To Serve

Add some frito chips or tortilla chips on top for some crunch. You can also add all kinds of other toppings: more cheese, green onions, cilantro, and maybe some avocado. The toppings really are the fun part.  

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
