The Best White Chicken Chili Recipe

This easy white chicken chili recipe is the perfect comfort food. a healthy crock pot recipe that you can also make on the stove top.

Can I Make This Chili In the Crockpot?

Absolutely.  Just dump in all the ingredients (do be sure to precook the chicken or use leftover chicken) and let it cook on low for up to 6 hours.

I told you it was easy!

 

Is This White Chili Healthy?

Yep. 

If you want to make it healthier, use low sodium beans.  Or cook up some dried beans yourself to make sure they’re low sodium.

And choose white chicken meat.

How Can I Make This More Frugal?

Well, you could serve a whole roasted chicken the night before you make this meal.

Then pick the leftover meat from the bones to use in this recipe.  And boil the bones (along with some carrots or carrot peels and celery if you have it) in a pot of water for a few hours to make a nice chicken stock.

Use that as a base for this soup.

You can also either make dried beans or just use whatever beans you have on hand. 

You can see in my pictures that I didn’t have enough white beans, so I added a can of kidney beans to the mix.  Still tasted delicious!
