I have tried several White Chili recipes over the years. I have found several recipes that we like, but this one has become my favorite. I cut it out of a magazine several years ago. I do not remember what magazine it came from but it is a great recipe.
I like this recipe because it is a crock-pot recipe and it uses dried beans instead of canned beans. I am realizing how much better dried beans are. The texture and taste are just better than canned. You can change the seasoning around a little if you like it spicier. My husband likes it spicier but the kids and I like it just the way it is.

I have been looking for a chicken chili recipe. Thank you for sharing this one. This is the first time I’ve been to your blog. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the chicken chili recipe. I’ve used canned beans and dried beans too and the dried beans soak up the flavors of the chili and taste so much better.
Kitchen Adventures … I LOVE IT !! This is my first visit to your blog … just wanted to say hi and I WILL BE BACK FOR SURE !!! ~ Bonnie
Thanks Bonnie, I am glad you liked it.
Hi Lynn! Just loaded up my crockpot with your yummy recipe! I will post the cost breakdown etc tonight! It’s coming in well under $5!
Erin
$5 dinner mom, I am looking forward to seeing the breakdown. I will link to it when you post it. I think my readers would be interested.
Trying this recipe tomorrow. My beans are soaking right now. I can’t wait!
This looks awesome! Going to have to try this for my next cookout or tailgating party.
Is the chicken supposed to be cooked or raw when you put it in?? I have cooked, but then I’m wondering if I do it that way, should I substitute part broth for the water.
I think using part broth would be good and I think you would want to add the cooked chicken at the end. If the chicken is already cooked you would not want it to be cooking all day. So I would just put it in the last hour or two to heat up and add some flavor. I hope that helps.
THANK you! I just started the soup in my crockpot for tonight. I used 2 cups of broth and 3 cups of water. I’ll put the chicken in late this afternoon. You saved me from having to go to Plan B for dinner tonight. I’m thankful for your site.
I am glad that helped. I hope you enjoy it!
