White Chicken Chili
Seriously, this white chicken chili is the easiest chili recipe ever!! And it tastes ah-mazing. I know, that word is overused, but I had to say it, it’s chili heaven right here!
If you’ve been reading my blog for anytime at all, you know I really do enjoy being in the kitchen. I enjoy the whole process of a meal coming together. I don’t mind slicing and dicing and stirring and creating.
I actually have a couple chili recipes that call for that: This Healthy Turkey chili is ultra fresh. And, since having an instant pot, I love this Turkey Chili with Butternut Squash, because it cuts down on cleaning.
However, we all need a dump and run kind of a recipe now and then.
Sometimes more often than that! I’m crazy for my crock pot. I even use it in the summer. As much as I don’t mind preparing meals that take a little longer, with four children running around,it can be challenging at times.
This is an awesome easychili recipe passed on to me from “Mom Dyk”. Mom Dyk is my husbands 2nd mom so to speak.
When he moved here from the other side of the state and became friends with her son Scott, she took him in too. He doesn’t have any family in the area, so he ate Sunday dinners there, and holidays, etc.
Once we met, she let me into the circle too. 🙂 I love this recipe because you really just put it all together and let it go in the crock pot.
I now call this “award winning” because it recently won a chili cook-off! I really couldn’t believe it!
If I was trying to win, I would have done some super special chili with a secret ingredient, but it was a fundraiser for church. Not that I didn’t want to win, I just never expected it with this easy of a recipe!
Everyone got to eat lots of chili, and then pay to vote for their favorite. I was shocked! That tells you how good this recipe is!! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do.
The only prep for this recipe is cooking the chicken before hand. I like to poach chicken, it keeps it really tender. But, you can go super cheater style (like I do sometimes) and just grab a rotisserie chicken and cut it up.
Pro Tip~
- Whether you cook your own chicken or purchase a rotisserie one, prep it the night before so you can dump and go in the morning.

Notes
*I always use a crockpot/slow cooker for this recipe. The pictures reflects an Instant Pot. At the time I photographed this recipe, my crockpot had broken, so I used my Instant Pot on the ‘slow cooker’ function. If you decide to do the same thing, make sure the slow cooker function on the Instant Pot is set to ‘high’ or ‘more’, and you cook it 6-8 hours. The slow cooker function on the Instant Pot does not compare to a traditional slow cooker. The ‘high’ is more like a ‘low’ on a crockpot.
