Try My White Chili Recipe With Chicken & Bacon Now!

Make this simple, delicious chili on the stove top, or in your slow cooker or InstantPot. Any way you prepare it, it’s crowd-pleasing and delicious.

Is using canned beans a cheat? I don't think so, since we're trying to make a quick, delicious meal with little effort: exactly what canned beans are made for.

Plus, the creamy beans add texture to the dish. This recipe actually utilizes the liquid from the canned beans to help create a smooth sauce.

If you'd like to make this chili even easier, skip cutting up the chicken. You can pop whole chicken breasts in the chili and then pull them out after cooking is complete to chop or shred.

Can I use chicken thighs? Frozen chicken?

In a word: yes. You can use chicken thighs in the recipe. You can use frozen chicken with the Instant Pot method - I recommend thawing for the other options. If you use frozen chicken in the Instant Pot, you'll need to shred it before serving as described above.

I top this White Chicken Chili with shredded cheese and more basil, my husband prefers sour cream & hot sauce. My daughter eats it with chips, almost like dip. Make a batch, and then make it your own!

If you’re a meal prepper, this chili will likely be one of your favorites.
