Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with White Beans

I’m taking a tiny break from all things pumpkin, gingerbread, and peppermint because we all need regular normal straight-up dinner recipes sometimes. Am I right? The family still wants to eat, every single night and I need to be prepared.

Today I’m sharing a very easy crockpot dinner that will satisfy hungry tummies and get you in and out of the kitchen without breaking a sweat. Slow Cooker Chicken Chili with White Beans is loaded with flavor and hearty enough to fill up teen boys and husbands. 

You can easily get the ingredients into the slow cooker earlier in the day and have dinner slow cooking away all day long. Great for those busy holiday season days in which time just seems to slip away. 

This chili uses two types of white beans, if you love kidney beans you can easily add them. We aren’t huge kidney bean fans so this chili is a nice change-up from my traditional beef chili. Serve with some cornbread or a crusty baguette, and dinner is served.

What ingredients do you need to make this chili?

• Chicken breasts
• Navy beans
• Cannellini beans
• Onion
• Jalapenos
• Garlic
• Salt and pepper
• Chili seasoning
• Chicken broth

Some tips that will help:

• If you enjoy spicier dishes, you can easily add additional chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper.
• A can of Rotel also makes a great addition.
• Garnish if desired with tortilla strips, shredded cheese, sliced green onion, or sour cream.

Simple steps to make this recipe:

Add chicken breasts to the slow cooker.

Next, add the beans into the slow cooker.

Dump in the diced onion and jalapenos.

Garlic, salt, pepper and chili seasoning are added in next.

Finally pour in the chicken broth. 

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook according to directions found in the recipe card below.

Remove the chicken breasts and shred with a fork. Return to slow cooker, stir and serve.
