How to Make Crockpot White Chicken Chili

Now that you know how easy prepping this one pot meal is, let's take a look at the ingredients you will need:

  • chicken breasts
  • black beans
  • corn
  • dry ranch packet
  • cumin
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

To get started, place the chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the entire can of corn (undrained) and Rotel tomatoes. Rinse and drain the black beans and pour them on top.

Top with seasonings and ranch and stir everything together.

Cut the cream cheese into five sections and place on top of everything. Then cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Quick Tip- If you are home while the chili is cooking, I like to stir the cream cheese into everything halfway through the cooking.

After cooking time is finished, shred chicken and mix everything together.

Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese

White chicken chili with cream cheese is on the thicker side so you can either use it as chili with a toppings bar or serve it as a dip for a party.

When I serve chili at parties, I like to make both a traditional red chili and this white chicken chili. That way people have two different options depending on their tastes. I always find people have never had a white chili until they try mine.

They also want the recipe when they leave and it is soon to become a family favorite at their house too.

My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I'm not home when the food is finished cooking and it just switches to warm. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!

      HI Marsha! I have updated the recipe. This was one of my first recipes so I didn't notice that missing. It is one teaspoon garlic powder. Hope you enjoy it!
