Why I love this recipe
We first made this creamy white chicken chili recipe when my son was learning how to cook. Each week he would choose a recipe that he wanted to make and I would supervise while he prepared our dinner. We love this down-sized White Chicken Chili recipe so much that it has become a regular in our house ever since.
Try it with these Soft Pretzels or these Raspberry Chocolate Banana Muffins.
How to make Creamy Chicken Chili
Step 1 – On a cutting board, dice the chicken and onion and add them to the crock pot.
Step 2 – Add in the garlic powder, salt, ground cumin, oregano, and pepper. If you are also using cayenne pepper, add that in now too.
Step 3 – Stir in the beans, green chiles, and broth until combined.
Step 4 – Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 7 or 8 hours, or high heat for 4 hours.
Step 5 – Right before serving, turn the heat off and add in the sour cream and heavy cream. Stir until well combined.
Step 6 – Serve and enjoy!

is there a substitute for the green chilis?

Hi Kandy, If you want something more mild, use a green bell pepper. If you want more spice, use a jalapeño. Thanks for your question :)

It was a little soupy, but next time I’m going to try not draining the beans & see if that makes a difference. The taste was amazing either way! My husband couldn’t stay away from it! I couldn’t either!
