Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow-Cooker White Chicken Chili.
Step 1
To create a delicious and comforting chili in your slow cooker, start by placing the chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker.
Step 2
Pour in the chicken broth and water, then add the great northern beans, salsa, and tomato puree.
Step 3
Next, toss in the chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, molasses, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, bay leaves, and salt.
Step 4
Gently stir everything together, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Cover the slow cooker and set it to the Low setting, allowing it to cook for 4 to 6 hours.
Step 6
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Step 8
Return the shredded chicken back into the pot, where all those wonderful flavors are mingling.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to add some creamy goodness! Toss in the cubed pepper jack cheese, cubed Monterey Jack cheese, and diced green bell pepper.
Step 10
Give it a good stir to mix everything together, then cover the slow cooker again.
Step 11
Let it cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, or until the bell pepper is tender and the cheeses have melted into a delightful, gooey chili.
Step 12
Before serving, take a moment to taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt, black pepper, or chili powder if you like it spicier.
Step 13
Don’t forget to remove the bay leaves—they’ve done their job! Serve your warm chili in bowls, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of extra cheese if you desire.
Step 14
Enjoy this hearty dish that’s perfect for cozy nights or gatherings with friends and family!.
