Cooking Thursday

It's winter in Michigan!  That means soup and chili is a regular on our menu.  We like white chicken chili, and I have a few different recipes that I use when I make it.  I made some last week and decided to combine a few recipes to make this batch.  I have to say, I think this was the best!  One of my recipes has black beans and Bob isn't a fan so he enjoyed the Northern beans.  The corn adds a pop of flavor and the cream cheese and ranch seasoning makes such a nice creamy base. You can choose the heat level you like for the Rotel and salsa. I used medium and it had just a little kick.




Crockpot White Chicken Chili

2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
3 15.5 ounce cans Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Rotel, with liquid
1 can corn with liquid
4 ounce can green chilies with liquid
16 ounce Salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 envelope ranch seasoning
1 teaspoon cumin
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed

Place all ingredients in crock pot and stir to combine. Cook on low for about 4 hours.  Prior to serving, stir again to mix in melted cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
Serve with toppings of choice; tortilla chips, sour cream, additional cheddar cheese...

You can't beat soup and chili during the colder months and you have certainly been experiencing cold, snowy weather recently!
Many thanks for sharing this recipe, looks so good.

Stay warm and safe.

All the best Jan

It's amazing how most things we like have the same ingredients in slightly different form. Audrey taught me to make Fiesta Chicken, which is four or five boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked on high for four hours with one can of Rotel, one can of Mexicorn, one can of black beans, one block of cream cheese, and a packet of Fiesta Ranch seasoning. It's out of this world. I could eat it every day! Great served over rice as it's thicker than chili But I will be trying this recipe of yours sooner rather than later! Love it xoxo 🏴‍☠️

Jennifer said...

Looks delicious...and perfect for this winter we are pushing through! I think I will add to my menu board!!:)

Cathy said...

We really enjoy a recipe very similar to this too...I believe the "secret" ingredient is the Rotel with the green chilis. I make a different soup at least once a week. We are having winter weather here in Virginia. I can only imagine what your usual winters must be like... though I love the snow!

It's 4 degrees here today. Definitely a crock pot kind of winter!
