How to Make Amazing Crock Pot White Chili W Chicken

  1. Brown 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside.

  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15-ounce) can great northern beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the browned chicken to the pot.
  5. **Crock-Pot:** Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. **Stovetop:** Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded.
  6. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream or milk (optional) during the last 15 minutes of cooking (for both methods).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
