A Note from Kim
Our New Chili Obsession
Slow cooker white chicken chili has officially taken the top spot in our house this chili season! My dad’s award-winning beef chili still holds a special place at our table, but this one has stolen the show with its savory flavor and creaminess. Plus, it’s almost effortless since the slow cooker does all the work!
With love (and lots of good eats),

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, then season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, great Northern beans, corn, cream of chicken soup, and green chiles, then stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours. Once the chicken is tender, shred it right in the slow cooker with two forks, or transfer it to a mixing bowl and shred with a mixer before returning it to the slow cooker.
- Add the cream cheese in chunks along with the heavy whipping cream and shredded cheese. Stir, cover, and continue cooking on LOW for 15 to 30 minutes, until the chili turns creamy and slightly thickened. Give it one more good stir and serve with your favorite toppings.

I have been looking for gut-healing/gut-friendly recipes, and just tried this one. I love chili, but can no longer tolerate regular chili, as the spices and the tomato base bother me (really bad acid reflux). I followed the recipe, only omitting the green chilies and gelatin (did not have on hand) and it was amazing, with such nice flavour that was not too overpowering, just the perfect amount of spices!! This is a keeper, and the family loved it … thank you for the great recipe!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much for your feedback!
Can vital proteins collagen peptides substitute for the beef gelatin?
Yes, or you can leave it out altogether.
I love slow cooker recipes and this one looks delicious. Would love to try it for a family lunch get together 🙂
I have just saved this for trying next week. It looks so tasty and I love that it has healing properties, my gut is not good again at the moment.
I have been having to cut back on my red meat and I have been looking for something like this to cook in the house to have different things I can eat. This chicken chili looks amazing. Definitely something I will try out.
The images make me want to just make it right now!! I’m sure that is really scrumptious and I love that it is so healthy.
This looks like a delightful dish for those who enjoy chicken. I could imagine it as a lovely dinner party addition!

I dont use my slow cooker near enough. This looks like the perfect reason to do so.
The photos plus the recipe, good combo. The food looks delicious and healthy. I’m always looking for different ways cook chicken.
Is it possible to make this without the Vital Protein?
Yes, just simply omit. Enjoy!

Awww, I wish I had come across this article 24 hours sooner. I just bought the ingredients for my very mediocre chili that we’re all sick to death of. We need another slow cooker recipe in the mix. I can’t wait to test this one out!
This looks yummilicious and super healthy, in fact a healthy twist from the routine diet.
A delicious and wholesome meal, perfect for the cooler weather as Fall creeps in.
What a great healthier twist on a fall classic! Looks fantastic!
Your pictures are great and really highlight your white chicken chili. This soup has me drooling over cooler weather here in Texas.
Very interesting, a delicious yet healing recipe! I love what you have done here with an already amazing idea. I might have to attempt this with my husband soon, he loves white chili. Pinning.
