White Chicken Chili

 

White chicken chili is a chili recipe without the tomato base. You can either use white chicken meat, turkey or duck meat. This all-in-one dish also contains beans making it a complete meal already.

 

Like all chilis, white chicken chili is a favorite for cold weather dining. This is usually topped with cheese, chopped onions and sour cream. White chicken chili can be served with saltines, tortillas, corn chips or topped over rice or pasta. It is usually cooked slowly using a heavy cast-iron skillet or crock pot over a low heat. The meal, considered as a variation from the chili con carne has a lot of Tex-Mex influence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Chicken Chili Recipe Slow Cooker

This is an easy-to-prepare white chicken chili recipe that uses a slow cooker. You will need at least 30 minutes to prepare and 12 hours to cook the meal.

 

Pre-soak a pound of dry great northern beans overnight.

First, you have to cook two pounds of boneless and skinless chicken breast in 10-12 ounces of chicken broth.

Let cool and the shred chicken. Set aside the broth.

Remove the water from your beans and put the beans in a large crock pot together with 28-30 ounces of chicken broth, including the broth you used when you broil the chicken.

Also add to the pot one ten-ounce can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, one teaspoon minced garlic, one tablespoon chopped onions, one teaspoon oregano, two teaspoons of ground cumin and one teaspoon of chili powder.

Add in the chicken, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste.

Make sure that you have enough broth to cover everything in the pot.

Add water or more broth if necessary.

Cook slowly over low heat for 10-12 hours or until the beans are ready.

 

You might need to occasionally add more liquid to always keep the beans covered.

 

You are ready to serve your white chicken chili when the beans are tender. Serve them in individual soup bowls topped with cheese, sour cream and tortillas. The red lobster biscuit recipe prepared in advance will be the perfect complement to complete a sumptuous meal.
