This recipe for white chicken chili is extremely easy and pleases everyone in my family. It’s simple to put together and cooks in the slow cooker all day. Anytime I take this dish to a luncheon or dinner party, it’s a major hit with the guests.
To make things a little more simple, I suggest cooking and shredding the chicken the night before as that is the only step that takes any time at all. Then set your alarm ten minutes early, add the remaining ingredients, turn on the slow cooker, head out for the day, and come home to a delicious meal. Enjoy!

I love white chicken chili, though I’ve never done the slow cooker version. Kenny was getting tired of it, but maybe he’d try it in the next couple of weeks? (Before I bust out the summer recipes!)

I love chili and for some reason I have never had it with white chicken! This looks delicious and something I could make really quick for dinner time. I am tired of the same ol’ kidney beans and ground meat!

I love chili but I’ve never had white chicken chili before. I need to start making it though because it’s probably healthier than regular chili.

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed great northern beans before. What sort of bean are they?
susannabarbee says
They’re a white bean, and they don’t bust open when they get really hot like some other beans, so that’s a plus!
