SLOW COOKER WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili image

This tangy, mildly spicy white-bean chili is as warming and comforting as a traditional chili, but in a lighter, brighter form. Plenty of green chiles - fresh and canned - provide kick while creamy white beans mellow it all out. To decrease the heat level, remove and discard the seeds from the jalapeño before you mince it. A large handful of chopped cilantro added at the end brings freshness, but if you don't care for cilantro, pass it at the table along with the other toppings or omit it entirely. Continuing the spirit of customizing your chili, you can make this in the slow cooker or on the stovetop. Use 3 cups chicken stock in the slow cooker and 4 cups on the stovetop, where liquid is more likely to evaporate.

Time 6h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
10 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, minced
3 (4-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, hot, mild or a combination
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 cups chicken stock
2 (14-ounce) cans great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1 small bunch), optional
1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
Pickled jalapeño slices, sliced scallion, cubed avocado and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chopped green chiles, cumin, onion powder, oregano and cayenne and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture into a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and add them to the pot. Stir in 3 cups chicken stock and the beans. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is tender, 4 to 6 hours.
  • Shred the chicken using two forks. (You can do this directly in the pot, or remove the chicken to a bowl, shred it, then return it to the pot.) Stir in the frozen corn, cover and cook until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, if using, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Serve in bowls and pass the toppings at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Great Northern beans are the traditional choice for white chili, but you can also use navy beans or cannellini beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic are all classic white chili spices. You can also add other spices to your taste, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or chipotle powder.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro are all popular white chili toppings. You can also add other toppings to your liking, such as crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, or crushed tortilla chips.
  • Serve with a side of cornbread or tortillas: This will help to soak up the delicious chili broth.

Conclusion:

White chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey, and it's also a perfect meal for a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give white chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
