A cozy and creamy slow cooker white chicken chili with corn that combines tender chicken, white beans, and a subtle kick of spice for a comforting meal perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can diced green chilies
  • 3 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt as a lighter option)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and diced jalapeño to the pan and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Transfer the sautéed onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the slow cooker.
  4. Add chicken breasts, drained beans, corn, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
  6. Remove chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred finely using two forks.
  7. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir gently.
  8. Stir in 1 cup sour cream until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Let the chili sit on warm for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired before serving.

Notes

Sautéing onions and garlic before slow cooking enhances flavor. Do not overcook chicken to avoid dryness. Shred chicken finely for best texture. Adjust spice level by modifying jalapeño and chili powder. Add broth or water if chili is too thick. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut-based alternative.
