This creamy and flavorful crockpot white chicken chili is the best with tender chicken, beans, corn and salsa. A hearty and easy recipe that is a weeknight favorite!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 breasts)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt , plus more to taste
  • 4 (15-ounce) cans beans , rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can white corn
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • ¾ cup sour cream , or cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • Ground black pepper , to taste

Optional toppings: Tortilla chips, Scoop of sour cream, Avocado, Shredded cheese, Cilantro

Instructions

  • Add to crockpot. In the bottom of a crockpot, add 2 pounds chicken and 15 ounces broth. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 4 cans of beans, 1 can corn, 1 cup salsa verde, and 1 cup salsa.
  • Slow cook then shred chicken. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred.
  • Add sour cream. Return chicken the crockpot and add the sour cream or cream cheese. I like to place it on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes before stirring. Cook an additional 30 minutes. Salt and pepper, to taste. 
  • Serve. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings! 

Notes

Beans: I use a mix of Great Northern, white, pinto, and light kidney beans. Feel free to use whatever is in your pantry. 
Freeze: I'd recommend freezing it without the sour cream mixed in, because sometimes dairy can separate once frozen. Add the soup to a freezer bag or an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying. Then heat back up on the stove or in the crockpot until warm. Mix in sour cream before serving.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
