Healthy Delicious White Chicken Chili

Healthy white chicken chili that’s easy and dairy free. Made with green chile, chicken, corn and blended chickpeas to make it creamy. A new family favorite recipe! Serve with avocado, tortilla chips and cilantro.
Not only do I have plenty of soups coming to you this month to kick off the New Year, but I also happen to have tons of options for keeping them dairy free, gluten free AND making them in the slow cooker. I don’t do the Whole30 thing but please know that my recipes are highly adaptable, so let me know if you have any questions!
In the meantime, can we talk about how delicious this white chicken chili is? Typically, white chicken chili is made with white beans, however, I happen to love the flavor and texture of chickpeas much more so I chose to use them in this version and dang… it turned out DELICIOUS.
To create a ‘creamy’ thickness to the chili, I decided to blend one can of the chickpeas then add it back to the pot with another can of chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients: green chiles, onion, broth, chicken, corn, lime juice, cilantro. It created a thick, creamy texture and flavor that I couldn’t stop slurping down.
Curious about how to make this recipe in the slow cooker? It’s easy! Instead of using shredded, cooked chicken, you’ll use 1 1/2 pounds of raw boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. After step 1, simply add all ingredients except the lime juice and cilantro to your slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Remove chicken and shred, then add back to the slow cooker and stir in lime juice and cilantro. That’s it!
I mean seriously, what could be better than a warm cozy bowl of chicken chili piled with avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, and even, jalapenos if you’re feeling spicyyyyy (aka me errrday).
