Brrrr, it is cold outside!! It was been a cold, wet winter here in North Carolina. It seems like every week we get either a cold rain or a mixture of rain/sleet/ice/and snow, and not the pretty kind either. This weather makes me turn to warm comforting dinners such as chili.


Chili or chili beans as some call it here in the South is a fall and winter staple; however, regular chili can get old after awhile. That is when I like to change things up a bit and make white chicken chili!


This white chicken chili recipe has minimal prep and is cooked in the crockpot so you can set it and forget it! Low-fat cream cheese gives it a creamy texture without it being too heavy. It is perfect topped with shredded Monterey jack cheese and/or jalapenos (if you like a little kick), and served with a big warm slice of cornbread.


I hope this easy crockpot chicken chili recipe will help keep you and your family warm all winter.

Add cubed cream cheese for a creamy texture.

Shred chicken before returning to crockpot.
