Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili – this is the perfect fall dinner recipe. Creamy, hearty, healthy, and the slow cooker does all the work!

I absolutely love fall! The beautiful colors on the trees, the cooler weather, and especially warm soup or chili! There’s not much that’s more comforting than the smell of this white chicken chili cooking in the slow cooker all day. And, of course, cooking in your slow cooker is pretty much the easiest way to get a healthy dinner on the table. Once fall hits, my trusty Crockpot is pretty much going non stop and this hearty chili recipe is a family favorite.

It’s perfect for warming up on a cool fall evening. Top it with a little sour cream and fresh cilantro and serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread for a healthy dinner the whole family will love.
