Make the best white chicken chili right in the slow cooker with chicken breast, white beans, and green salsa. This cozy chili recipe is hearty, delicious, and freezer-friendly.
Step 1
Add the chicken to the bottom of the slow cooker. One note, depending on your slow cooker, you may want to quickly saute your onions (or swap in frozen) before adding them to the slow cooker. My onions always cook enough in my slow cooker, but I have heard from some readers that their onions come out more al dente than they like.
Step 4
Stir the refried beans into the chili and continue to stir until they dissolve into the chili and it thickens. The refried beans act as a great thickener without needing an immersion blender or cream. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
