Crock-pot White Chicken Chili
Fall is my most favorite time of year. It didn’t dawn on me until recently that I am really going to miss the whole “East Coast Fall experience”.
You see, since I was born and raised in South Texas, I never really experienced what Fall truly was until we moved to Virginia. The summers were brutally hot and I remember how glorious it was when that first little cold front blew in and broke the humidity. We would turn off our air conditioners, open up the windows, and savor the cool breeze.
Now that I live in Southern California, the weather is a bit different. Not to rub it in, but it’s pretty much perfect year round with the temps dropping a few degrees for the Fall season. The main thing missing is that excitement that I felt when the cooler weather blows in. To get my self excited for Fall I pulled out my crockpot and made one of my favorite soups, Crockpot White Chicken Chili.
To make this chili, you want to combine chicken thighs, water, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, & oregano in your crockpot and let it cook on high for about 4 hours, or on low for 9 hours.
Next you remove the chicken thighs from the crockpot, remove the skin and shred the chicken from the bone.
Add the shredded chicken, beans, green chili, corn, & sour cream to the crockpot. Stir and cook on high for 30 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and cheddar cheese.
This soup put me in the mood for Fall immediately. Besides, nothing screams Fall more than a hot bowl of chili!

I love new crockpot recipes. I will have to try this one…looks delicious! I love the cooler weather of the fall too…but it is still so warm and humid here on Long Island…waiting for that chill in the air!
I am all about the crockpot lately…this one is being bookmarked!
Perfect! I have company coming this weekend and was looking for something different – but easy for a meal. Thanks!
Can NOT wait to make this! Once we get settled in “no-fall CA” 🙂
This looks like perfect fall meal! 🙂
I’ve never made white chili before. I had some for the first time last year when Matt and I hosted a chili cook-off and I loved it!
ive never made white chili but you make me wanna start!
This is beautiful Estela! I need to do this for the boys this fall! They would love it!
I’m a huge fan of slow-cooker friendly meals, definitely making this delicious looking chili!
I think white chicken chili is my all time favorite soup/chili recipe to eat in the fall/winter. We actually have it for Christmas Eve every year.
This looks wonderful! Crockpots are the best… And in Washington it’s definitely crockpot time.
Looks like a delicious alternative to the typical chili! And as a family who loves their crockpot, we will definitely be trying this!
