Irresistible White Chicken Chili Recipe for Your Slow Cooker Poultry Slow Cooker Dinner Soups

If you’re anything like me, you’re grateful for your slow cooker. It’s a huge time saver, and I’m thrilled to save time wherever I can. A slow cooker makes busy nights much easier, so you can focus more on who you’re eating with rather than what you’re eating.

This white chicken chili recipe is right up my alley! I’m trying to cut back on red meat, so this fits the bill. It’s also delicious, full of protein and easy to make. It’s that perfect kind of comfort food recipe for the cooler months.

One of the things I love about this slow cooker recipe is that you can customize it. Add your favorite toppings and serve with tortilla chips, bread or oyster crackers, whichever you prefer.
