A bowl of this creamy Crockpot White Chicken Chili tastes delicious after a day outside in the cold! Chicken, cream cheese, heavy cream, onion, garlic, great northern beans, green chiles and chili seasonings make for a delicious pot of creamy goodness! This tastes great as leftovers, too.
Freezer Friendly
If you would like to freezer this recipe, just leave out the heavy cream and cream cheese and freeze. Then, unthaw in the fridge the night before throw in crockpot and add the remaining ingredients. Cook until melted. You could also do this and warm it back up over the stove too.
Versatile
Substitute regular cream cheese with light, or heavy whipping cream with whole or 2% milk. Reduce the sodium with low sodium chicken broth and beans.
Substitute the chicken with ground turkey for a different protein, or add more veggies to the mix. I think a can of corn would taste good in this recipe.

Self timing crockpot is a big help!
I really like my self timer crockpot for recipes such as this. Set the timer for 4 hours and don’t worry about it! Here is a link to the crock pot that I have- Crock-Pot Cook & Carry.
