Tips & Tricks
Slow Cooker. Obviously, you'll need a slow cooker for this recipe. I actually use the slow cooker setting on my instant pot. But you can use a traditional slow cooker too. And if you don't have a slow cooker - check out this stovetop white chicken chili instead!
Green enchilada sauce. This is sort of the secret ingredient in this white chicken chili. Using a store bought enchilada sauce is what makes this recipe so incredibly simple - just dump and go! I like this brand of green enchilada sauce.
Diced green chilis. I recommend using a canned variety of green chilies for maximum convenience here. These Hatch chilis are a very reliable choice!
White beans. I used great northern beans in my chili, but you could also use cannellini beans. I find that the great northern beans hold up better to slow cooking. But the cannellini beans will have a creamier texture.
Toppings. Toppings are essential to any good bowl of chili! Cilantro, sour cream, and avocado are my personal favorites. You can also try tortilla chips for extra crunch!
Serving Ideas. This chili makes a great meal on it's own. But you can serve it up with some crusty bread or tortilla chips for a heartier meal.
