The Best & Easiest Crockpot White Chicken Chili
Equipment
- Crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil

- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Chili Powder depending on desired spice level
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (plus a pinch for seasoning each side of the chicken)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (plus a pinch for seasoning each side of the chicken)
- 1-2 teaspoon Salt to taste (plus a pinch for seasoning each side of the chicken)

- Then add the beans and all other ingredients EXCEPT the heavy cream to the crockpot.
- Add the lid on your slow cooker and set on HIGH for 3-4 hours ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and either dice into bite size pieces or shred. (I prefer dicing because it’s easier to eat. But if you want to shred it, add to stand mixer or use a hand mixer for super simple shredding).
- Add chicken back to the crockpot and put on warm. Add the heavy cream and stir well combining.
- All done – enjoy!
