Ultimate Slow-Cooker White Chicken Chili Recipe

Step 1

In a 6-quart slow cooker, mix together tender chicken pieces, flavorful chicken broth, fresh water, hearty beans, zesty salsa, velvety tomato puree, aromatic onions, pungent garlic, spicy chili powder, earthy cumin, fragrant oregano, rich molasses, smoky paprika, savory onion powder, garlicky garlic powder, zingy black pepper, aromatic bay leaves, and a pinch of salt. Gently blend the ingredients together and cover the slow cooker. Let it simmer on Low heat until the chicken is melt-in-your-mouth tender, which usually takes around 4 to 6 hours.

Step 2

Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, take it out of the slow cooker, shred it into delectable pieces, and add it back into the pot. Toss in some creamy pepper jack cheese, smooth Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy bell pepper. Cover and let it cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, until the bell pepper is soft and the cheeses have melted deliciously into the chili.

Step 3

Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with more salt, black pepper, or chili powder as needed. Don't forget to remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the warm and comforting chili into bowls, and garnish with dollops of tangy sour cream and a sprinkle of extra cheese for added indulgence. Enjoy this flavor-packed dish with your loved ones!
