Today I am sharing my go to slow cooker meal. It’s delicious, super filling and pretty healthy (if you go light on the Fritos! lol). White Chicken Chili is the best, it’s super flavourful, takes basically no prep time. Perfect weeknight meal. Oh and you’ll have leftovers! Win!!
I love soups, stews and chilis in the fall and winter. I just find then so satisfying and super easy to make, but my husband isn’t a big soup fan. He’s a big strong man and likes a big plate of hearty food. He just doesn’t see soup as a meal. And he doesn’t like most chilis because tomatoes give him heartburn. So thats where this recipe saves the day. It’s hearty and there’s no tomatoes, it’s a serious winner. He actually asks for this meal regularly (could just be the Fritos!). And I happily oblige since it takes five minutes and it feeds us for days!
So lets run down what makes this recipe so great.
- Canned Green Chilies, seriously yummy! Basically makes everything taste like queso blanco and adds delicious flavour to this chili
- Jalapeños, add just the right amount of heat. Remove or don’t remove the seeds to adjust the heat to your liking. I like one with and one without.
- White Beans, they make this chili so hearty and filling
- Cream Cheese, this is what makes this chilli creamy. Yep, no cream in sight! It’s perfect and my secret weapon!
- Spices, don’t skimp on the cumin! Heck add extra if you want!
This recipe really is one of those no recipe recipes. You chop a few ingredients and other then that just toss everything in and let the slow cooked do it’s magic. It’s really that simple! Add your favourite chili toppings and get to eating!
I hope you give this a try at your house, I know you won’t be disappointed!
