It’s a little bit of prep work but it makes a lot and everyone seems to love it! It’s a “white" chili vs the usual “red" one. I keep the spicy stuff to a minimum but you can always add more hot sauce and red pepper flakes to individual servings (for those that like it spicy hot.)
Crockpot White Chili:
Chicken Breasts (I use about 6 large ones) – grind it up in a food processor or chop up in small pieces (shortcut would be to use about 2 or 3 large cans of cooked chicken from Sam’s Club or Costco)
2 – 3 large onions – chopped fine
3 -4 stalks celery – chopped fine
2 – 3 carrots – peeled and chopped fine
4 – 5 cans of Great Northern beans
1 Large Can Cream of Chicken Soup (can use 4 cups of chicken broth for a lighter version)
2 - 4 cups chicken broth
Chili powder (to taste)(optional)
Hot Sauce (to taste) (optional)
Red Pepper Flakes (to taste) (optional)
1 TBS Cumin powder
1 ½ tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Garlic powder (optional)
1 TBS honey
Salt & Pepper to taste
Combine ground chicken, onion, celery, carrots, and beans in a greased crockpot, then add canned soup, chicken broth, seasonings, and honey. While you can saute your chicken in a separate pan with a little oil and the seasonings, I have found it works just as well to put it all in the crockpot, provided that every hour or so, you will have to stir and the chicken pieces will want to stick together and you have to break them apart a little; the longer it cooks, the less you need to do this step.
I recommend 8 hours on low setting or 4 hours on high setting to make sure the chicken and veggies are cooked well before serving. Some members of my family like to throw some shredded Colby-Jack cheese on top (which also gives you more protein.)
Have a great day!
