This is the EASIEST white chicken chili slow cooker recipe you will ever see. Dump, dump, dump cook for 4 hours with stirring once or twice in the middle. You are rewarded for your laziness with a great chili, and all your friends will demand the recipe.
For the first time, I’m repeating a recipe. This was one of my first posts, and it has always been one of my most requested recipes. Maybe 50 people saw the first post, so a repeat is definitely in order.
No inspired by recipe here, I have done this one for 20 years plus. I even remembered the recipe without looking it up.
Rating
An absolute 5. No doubt about it.
Notes:
Get your chicken any way you want. My crock pot shredded chicken recipe is where mine came from after a one month stay in my freezer. A rotisserie chicken, canned or frozen. Or cook a couple of breasts in the oven until done.
I like my chili a little thinner now so I added a can of chicken broth. But leave it out and you have a spicier very thick chili. Increase the cumin a little if you want hotter.
A great recipe to double and it freezes great.

A few simple ingredients.
Cube 8 oz of pepper jack cheese.
In a small (3.5 qt crock pot here) dump one 48 oz jar great northern beans (undrained), 8 oz of salsa, 3 cups of shredded chicken, 2 t cumin and 8 oz of pepper jack cheese (cubed).
Add a 14 oz can of chicken broth if you want a normal thick chili. Leave it out for extra thick. Stir very well.
Cook on low for 4 hours. Try to stir once or twice in the middle if you can to distribute the cheese but it can wait until the end if needed.

Hi All, I'm DrDan and welcome to 101 Cooking for Two. We present some of the best recipes with easy to follow step by step photo instructions to make your everyday cooking needs easier.

We are rocking a 30f high with an ice storm here, so it’s down right tropical compared to a 9f high, lol. Great looking chili!
Dr Dan
The cheese in this keeps it HOT (physically) for a long time. So you can just set there an eat slowly and enjoy the heat.
Luv Boatin
Made this Super Bowl Weekend and it was a big hit!! This will be a regular on our table. Thanks for your great recipes!!!
Elizabeth Shelburne
Do you think this would freeze well?
Dan Mikesell
Absolutely…
Grace
This was pretty good! I doctor’d the recipe and used a salsa verde instead of a red salsa to keep it white. It was a lot thinner than I wanted, but, that’s okay, I wanted chicken tortilla soup so this was right in the middle and it was awesome. I will make this again and can’t wait for the leftovers!
NascarRen24
Will this be ok cooking all day while I’m at work, not just for 4 hours?
Dan Mikesell
I wouldn’t. I don’t think dairy products do that well with long cooking. It might tolerate 5-6 hours if you have a “cooler” running crock pot but so many of them run hot especially with long cooking’s..
Marcia
I’ve made this three times with no modifications for different quest and they all loved it! You’re right, be ready to copy the recipe. They won’t leave without it. Thanks for all the great recipes!
DrDan
This is in my top 5 of all time. I just love it. I could get low fat pepper jack for a while and it was reasonably healthy. With normal pepper jack not quit so much but still not bad…
Thanks for the comment
DrDan
Emily
I only have a large crock pot (5 or 6 qt). Does this double well?
DrDan
I actually cut the recipe in half from the original that I cooked for years. I do the “double recipe” for parties and the single for the two of us. It does freeze great.
DrDan
virginia
I am making this now in a 6 qt and it’s fine. I didn’t need to double the recipe for it to work.
It’s a great recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it.
DrDan
This recipe works in almost anything. I have used it in at least 5 different crock pots over the years and it always works. I have never had much trouble with the pot being too big. But to small and fill more then 2/3 can be an issue in some recipes.
Thanks for the note
DrDan
Andrea
Couldn’t you cook whole breasts in the chili as it slow cooks? Then shred and mix back in?
DrDan
I believe that would work fine. High for a couple of hours or low for 4 should cook the chicken well. My Low Fat High Taste Crock Pot White Chicken Chili ( https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/low-fat-high-taste-crock-pot-white-chicken-chili/) does just that. That is the only recipe I know of that does it that way. Shredding might be a bit of an issue with all that very hot cheese.
If you do it, please come back and report.
Thanks for the question
DrDan
Bethany
Would this recipe work over the stove top? I’m in the whole work-day predicament but would love to have it for dinner after I get off.
DrDan
I’m sure it would work well on the stove top. Everything is already cooked. The longer you could simmer the better. I’m thing a Dutch oven type pan. I would not do cast iron due to the tomato product.
DrDan
Tonya
I really want to try this. Can it be made started with dried beans? I have a ton.
DrDan
Hi Tonya, I just did a double batch of this for my office party today. It went over great.
Now your question. Yes BUT. Properly prepared dry beans would be fine. The but is the beans in the recipe are already cooked. Even with presoaking I don’t believe they would be tender with the cooking here. My limited experience with dry beans is that even with an over night soaking, they may take 10 hours or so to cook correctly not the 4 hours here. So you may say just let it cook… but cheese may not like that and the chicken was already cooked just not a good idea.
So in summery, with this recipe, I thing it is just to much work.
Heather
My children will not touch anything with beans in it. I can’t say I am a huge fan of them either. Would I need to add any extra chicken broth if I leave the beans out?
DrDan
Try it with the beans and you will be surprised how good it is. It may well convert all of you. Without the beans, I don’t see this working well.
DrDan
Mike King
Just made this using leftover roasted chicken that I shredded. Also started with dry beans. Soaked them overnight & cooked them in the slow cooker while at work. Then I simply added the other ingredients & continued cooking. Even tho it’s more time consuming & not as easy, it turned out fantastic!
DrDan
Thanks for the note. The taste combination of this chili is just so right no matter how you get there.
Dan
Shelia
Made this last week and it was a hit!! Because we had roasted chicken I was concerned that it would be mushy if I cooked it for hours so we added it about 30 minutes before the cooktime was up.
My sister enjoys meatless options so before we added it, she had a big bowl and really enjoyed it.
Dan
Just won a Chili Cookoff at work with this!
I have a large crockpot and doubled it with no problems.
DrDan
It is a recipe to love. I never make a single batch. I can somehow always get rid of a full double batch.
I can now call it award win I guess. You don’t tell them how easy it was, did you? Make them think you slaved.
Thanks for the note and congratulations on the win.
Dan
Karen Buttars
How much is a servings??
DrDan
There is no standard so I estimate the number of serving I would get out of the recipe and here it is about 1 1/2 cup.
