We started adding in one secret ingredient recently that takes the flavor up a notch and I can’t get enough! But the other plus? I mentioned it before, this slow cooker white chicken chili is SO easy. And by easy I mean dump everything into your crockpot, turn it on and walk away. No pre-cooking, no pre-mixing. No pre-thawing. It’s seriously one of the easiest recipes we make.

A number of variations of chili have become popularized over the years. Texas-style chili doesn’t contain beans; vegetarian chili (aka chili sin carne) typically replaces meat with corn and other vegetables; chili verde uses pork, tomatillos, and green chili peppers in lieu of beef and tomatoes; and white chili uses white beans and chicken or turkey.
