Gluten-Free Crockpot White Chili (Printer-Friendly)

Slow-cooked white chicken chili with gluten-free beans, creamy texture, and rich Mediterranean-inspired flavors.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Poultry

01 - 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

→ Beans and Vegetables

02 - 2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
03 - 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn kernels, drained
04 - 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
05 - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids and Dairy

07 - 4 cups gluten-free chicken broth
08 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
09 - ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

→ Spices and Seasonings

10 - 1 tsp ground cumin
11 - 1 tsp chili powder
12 - ½ tsp smoked paprika
13 - 1 tsp dried oregano
14 - 1 tsp sea salt
15 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
16 - 1 tsp gluten-free chicken bouillon powder

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Lightly coat the crockpot insert with nonstick spray to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
02 - Place finely diced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker to build flavor.
03 - Arrange chicken breasts over the onion and garlic, then add drained Great Northern beans, sweet corn, and diced green chilies on top.
04 - Sprinkle ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and chicken bouillon powder evenly over the layered ingredients. Pour in gluten-free chicken broth until most ingredients are submerged.
05 - Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender enough to shred easily.
06 - Remove chicken breasts from the slow cooker, shred with two forks, then return the shredded meat to the pot. Stir in softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
07 - Cover and cook on HIGH for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to ensure all dairy ingredients dissolve smoothly and the chili is thoroughly heated. Stir before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - For a thicker texture, blend one cup of beans and broth and add back into the slow cooker to naturally thicken the base.
02 - Ensure cream cheese and yogurt are at room temperature before adding to prevent curdling.
03 - Adding fresh lime juice just before serving brightens the flavors and balances the creaminess.
04 - To increase spiciness, double the green chilies or add minced jalapeño with the onions; reduce chili powder for milder taste.
