Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

We have officially entered into the cooler season!!  Fall temperatures are here and that makes me want – chili!Until now, our hands-down favorite has always been my healthier turkey chili here. While it still holds a special place at our dinner table, this creamy white chicken chili is a new favorite.  It’s delicious – with just the right amount of kick!  This slow cooker white chicken chili recipe is a must try!

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is easy

Slow cooker soups are truly amazing! Using a slow cooker can take a great recipe and make it even better.  We love using our slow cooker to make things easy.  I’m all about that great homemade flavor without all the effort!

Is Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili healthy?

Everyone wants to eat healthy – right? Well, I won’t claim that slow cooker white chicken chili is healthy… but I do think it’s definitely healthier than some recipes I have found.  I have tried several different recipes for white chicken chili.  Most I have found call for mostly heavy cream, but this one uses reduced fat cream cheese and some half and half!  Also, the toppings are an area where you can go a little healthier.  For example, I do not put cheese or sour cream on mine.  I usually opt for avocado, cilantro and tortilla strips.  Tons of great flavor, with a little less calories!

While this chili is perfect for those chilly Fall nights, where you can curl up on the couch with a big bowl and switch on the tv, it’s also really great for game day!  You can feed quite a few people with this chili (especially if you have a big slow cooker like this one here, and you can double the recipe), and even pick up a carrying case so you could take this chili tailgating!

I’ve even seen some people having a chili bar at a party, where you whip up a big batch of this creamy white chicken chili, then set out a big variety of toppings and let your guests make it their own.
