Slow Cooker White Bean Chicken Chili - The Lemon Bowl

Whether you’re busy with little ones at home or simply pressed for time in between work meetings, after school obligations and everything else life throws at us, one thing is clear: we love our slow cooker!!

In fact, all of you made if VERY clear in my recent reader survey that you want more slow cooker recipes and chicken recipes so guess what? I decided to kill two birds with one stone with this addictively delicious and ridiculously simple Slow Cooker White Bean Chicken Chili recipe.

Kids eating ChiliTruth be told, I was hosting a play date lunch for 3 adults and 5 kids under the age of 3 so I needed an easy recipe that I could prep ahead of time. The night before I simply tossed everything in the slow cooker and let it do its thing.

Aria and Maddie - The Lemon BowlThe verdict? Thumbs up from all! Well…at least those who are eating solids. Don’t worry Aria, your time is coming! (Isn’t my niece adorable? And that’s my friend Kim’s first baby Maddie on the right.)

Slow Cooker White Bean Chicken Chili by The Lemon BowlThis makes a big batch so if you aren’t hosting a crowd save leftovers for lunches throughout the week or freeze for later this fall when you’d rather carve pumpkins than make dinner.

Your spoon is waiting.

  8. I don’t see fire roasted tomatoes listed in the white bean chicken chili recipe ingredients as mentioned in the description. Are they in the salsa verde? Recipe sounds delish!

  9. It looks like there are tomatoes in the chili in the picture but not in the recipe. Also does this not have any chicken broth?

  21. The slow cooker saves the day again! And it’s extra good when everyone can make the meal their own by loading it with toppings (seriously, who doesn’t love toppings of any sort?!).

    Thanks for this weekday life-saver!
