Healthy Crockpot White Chicken Chili Print 189 LikeDislike By Shanna Stewart I love healthy crockpot recipes because they make eating well easy, even on busy days. With just a little bit of prep, you can throw a few ingredients in the crockpot and come home from a long day with a healthy crockpot recipe that is already ready to be served. I don’t like traditional chili, so I’ve always wanted to try a lightened up version using chicken and lots of veggies and no added fat. After reading through a variety of white chicken chili recipes on the Internet, I adapted this healthy crockpot recipe and it was a huge success!It’s a perfect comforting dish that is filled with fiber, lean protein and a healthy dose of veggies and spices! Using skinless chicken breasts gives you lean protein without unnecessary fat. Additionally, the beans add fiber and other heart healthy benefits. You can also add a few tablespoons of Superfood Turmeric, which contains turmeric plus 7 other delicious spices such as ginger and clove, which up the flavor and provides benefits, including helping to reduce inflammation. Feel free to modify this healthy crockpot recipe to replace or add some of your own favorite veggies or spices.I hope you enjoy this healthy crockpot recipe just as much as my family and I did.
Cassandra January 4, 2022 at 8:16 amI prefer using thighs. Is there a reason you use breasts instead? Reply ↓
Recipe Team January 11, 2022 at 11:29 amHi Cassandra: You can use any part of the chicken that you wish! Enjoy! Reply ↓
Christine Walker September 3, 2021 at 8:13 pmShould I cook the chicken first or should I just put it in? Reply ↓
Recipe Team September 21, 2021 at 7:45 amHi Christine: You can put the chicken in without cooking it first. Enjoy-this recipe is delicious! Reply ↓
Sharon September 2, 2019 at 4:57 amIf you’re wondering about how big a serving is and a recipe says I servings, 1/8 of it is a serving. I usually just wing-it. If you’re wondering before you make it how much, it’s fairly easy to get close, just guess-timate . In this recipe the chicken is probably 4 cups, the beans probaprobably 3 cups; the added ingredients probably another cup. That’s 8 cups. 8 servings at 1 cup each. Voila! Reply ↓

Sophia October 26, 2018 at 4:22 amMy entire family loves this recipe. I did alter it, but only slightly. I double the spices amount, and add a can of tomatoes with chilies. Absolutely wonderful! Reply ↓
Jim D February 18, 2018 at 7:35 pmMade this exactly by the recipe and it came out very soupy and bland. The corn completely disappeared in the broth. I did taste the chili’s but they also evaporated into the soup. Overall, I tasted okay, but I had as expecting a thicker result. E.g. a chili. Reply ↓
Andrea Miller February 4, 2018 at 4:31 pmI made this for my son and his family. The problem is his wife is not eating any garlic of any kind. She did a test and actually she is much happier. I used extra oil, extra chili powder. It came out amazing and she makes it at least once a week now. I need to know what I can use instead of garlic for flavor. Help. I really need some help. I love to cook, I am Italian and I use garlic in everything. Suggestions needed please. Reply ↓
Mandy K January 3, 2018 at 5:40 pmThis was fantastic. Will definitely be making it again ! Very flavorful and tasty Reply ↓
Anonymous November 27, 2017 at 8:15 amThis was a decent chili. The chicken and broth were overall a little too bland for my liking so I find myself adding a lot of spices/salt to it. It’s overall pretty good as a healthy meal prep and I would recommend it, but use full sodium broth.Just as a side not I did this in a 4.5 quart cooker. I’m sure some people after adding all these ingredients into a smaller cooker were a little upset because it wouldn’t all fit lol. Reply ↓
Anonymous November 20, 2017 at 4:59 pmI think this is delicious with all of the optional ingredients added. It needed a little something extra. Reply ↓
Anonymous November 12, 2017 at 1:58 pmAll these crock pot recipes say 8 servings, such and such calories but none of them give the serving size??? Very frustrating when you on a caloric diet 🙁 Reply ↓
Chrisleen Sluder October 29, 2017 at 2:56 pmI made this today so it would be ready to eat when we got home from church. It was absolutely delicious! I usually prefer my food very spicy but my husband does not so I the only change I made was I added one small jalapeño diced. I also pureed 1/4 of the beans. It was wonderful! I will definitely make this again, in fact, I think it will be a good pot luck dish. Thank you for this recipe! Reply ↓
Dawn Martin October 3, 2017 at 5:47 amI made this per the recipe, omitting the onion (my husband can’t eat them), and it was delicious! It was a bit soupy, which is not a problem, but after adding some shredded ff cheese and plain Greek yogurt, it was perfect consistency! I also added salsa to my bowl, which was a great suggestion! Printed and in my recipe binder! Reply ↓
Anonymous October 3, 2017 at 5:08 amThis was so disappointing. It had NOOOO flavor. So boring. Reply ↓
Patty September 27, 2017 at 2:27 pmI thought the soup flavor was great! I actually made it in an hour just cooking the chicken, but I think it would have been better to done it with the crock pot. Reply ↓
Pam August 20, 2017 at 4:14 pmWas so embarrassed. Made this last night for friend. NO flavor, watery. Will never make again. Very sad. Reply ↓
Kimberley GARCIA August 4, 2017 at 7:38 pmI was just wondering how I could get a recipe book for crockpot dinners. I.constantly work and am a single parent alot and I wood love simple ideas. Thank you! Kimberley Garcia Reply ↓
Recipe Team August 5, 2017 at 3:16 amThat’s a great idea Kimberley. We will try to get more crockpot recipes. Do you by chance have an Insta Pot too? We have some great recipes for that in this article: https://www.furtherfood.com/cooking-with-instant-pot-pressure-cooker-recipes-grain-free/ Reply ↓
MaryB April 16, 2017 at 8:26 pmI didn’t make this in the crockpot- I was looking for recipes to use with leftovers of chicken, chicken broth, and white beans. So I just heated those up with the other things. I didn’t have corn so I used zucchini and carrots. Because I can’t tolerate a lot of spice, I just put in the cumin and a cayenne pepper, and put in some green bell pepper instead of green chilies. But still it had a lot of flavor. My parents really liked it too. They snuck some while I was at work. A half cup of this was a great pick me up snack after I got home. Thanks for the idea! Reply ↓
Linda Schultz March 27, 2017 at 7:31 amRebecca, I wondered the same thing. Then I noticed it says “8” servings under the picture. Reply ↓
Kimberly February 14, 2017 at 3:34 pmThis looks delicious! I have 2 rotisserie chickens waiting for me to use so I’m wondering what directions you would suggest when using these for the raw chicken…..? Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorFebruary 15, 2017 at 6:17 amI would say this recipe calls for approximately 1.5-1.8 lbs of chicken, so I think you could shred the rotisserie and weigh out that amount. Then I would just add the chicken to the crockpot with everything else, and I would imagine cooking it on low for 4 hours would be sufficient since you’d really just be heating everything through. I apologize I’ve never tried this with pre-cooked chicken so I’m not 100% sure, but those are my thoughts. 🙂Hope that helps — good luck!Shanna Reply ↓
Sarah February 9, 2017 at 8:20 pmThis looks deliciou! I shared with my Beach Body group. Will try it soon! Reply ↓

Michelle January 24, 2017 at 5:52 amWinner, winner chicken chili dinner!!! I made it last night for my family and they all devoured it, plus had seconds. Next time I’ll make a double batch. Thank you!! Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorJanuary 25, 2017 at 7:42 amI’m so happy to hear that the family approved! 🙂 We usually end up having seconds too – it’s just too good! 😉 You’re so welcome!Shanna Reply ↓
Emily January 23, 2017 at 7:45 amMade this for dinner tonight. Definitely a much more soupy consistency than desired despite altering the recipe to include more chicken per previous commenters. Served over rice it was excellent. In the future definitely doubling the beans and corn to get away from the soupiness. Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorJanuary 25, 2017 at 7:45 amEmily, I’m sorry to hear that you thought it was too soupy. Hopefully next time you can alter it a little bit to fit your personal taste! I’m glad you still enjoyed it over rice – that sounds like a delicious option too! Thanks for your feedback! 🙂Shanna Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorJanuary 25, 2017 at 7:42 amYes, absolutely! Just make sure they are cooked thoroughly before removing from the crockpot. If you are cooking on low for 6-8 hours, you may wait until closer to 8 hours. This can also be made by cooking on high for 4 hours, so that could be something you try as well! Enjoy! Reply ↓
Angie January 18, 2017 at 2:03 pmI made this for dinner and it was delicious! Thanks for the excellent recipe! Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorJanuary 25, 2017 at 7:48 amAngie,I’m so happy you enjoyed the chicken chili! It is definitely one of my favorites 🙂 You’re so welcome!Shanna Reply ↓
paige October 18, 2016 at 12:22 pmLove this recipe! Super delicious and so easy to prep so I can pop it into the crockpot before heading to work. Saves well too! Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorOctober 18, 2016 at 1:32 pmPaige,Thanks so much for your feedback! I’m so happy you loved this crockpot chili! It’s one of my favorites too, and now that it’s getting colder outside, I think it’s time for me to make it again! 🙂 Enjoy! Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorSeptember 9, 2016 at 1:40 pmHi Brittany!This recipe makes about 8 servings. I would have to estimate that a serving is approximately 1 1/2 cups. I hope you enjoy it!Shanna Reply ↓
Moneil4 January 13, 2016 at 7:50 pmThis was too soupy. Not thick enough for my taste. Maybe 1 can of broth would have been better Reply ↓
Lillian Zhao February 17, 2016 at 9:44 amthanks so much for the feedback Moneil! Definitely adjust it as you see fit. Reply ↓
shanstew92 Post authorSeptember 9, 2016 at 1:42 pmMoneil,I’m sorry to hear that it came out too soupy for you! Mine was pretty thick with the amount of chicken and beans I used – maybe you used 2 smaller chicken breasts, while I used 3 larger chicken breasts. Who knows! I encourage you to try it again with 1 can of broth and see how it turns out for you. Let us know! 🙂Thanks so much for your feedback!Shanna Reply ↓
