Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Crockpot Healthy White Chicken Chili. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Make sure they are evenly spread out to ensure even cooking.
- Next, layer in the creamy white beans, drained and rinsed, along with the diced green chiles, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour the chicken broth over the layered ingredients, and sprinkle the cumin, oregano, chili powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if using, over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir gently to combine.
- Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them with two forks, then return the shredded chicken back into the chili.
- Stir in the fresh cilantro and squeeze in the lime juice to add brightness to the dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle the warm chili into bowls and top with garnishes such as shredded cheese, a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, and sliced avocado.
Notes
Store leftover chili in airtight containers; it will stay fresh for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
