Congratulations! Thanks for stopping by to tell us about it. Poaching the chicken really does give it a great texture for this dish.

Yay! Yes, so versatile, you can make it on the stove too. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment!

Awesome! That makes my day. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

This recipe is SO versatile! It’s definitely written as a white chili, so the beans are white, but honestly, you can swap beans out and still have a great tasting meal! I’m so glad it turned out. It’s truly a family favorite over here.

I would probably leave the milk out until you put it in the crockpot. But I haven’t tried it, so it could work just fine.

Thank you so much for this 5 star review! It truly is a crowd pleaser.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, crockpot for the win! I hope you are still enjoying all the recipes. I appreciate your comment so much!

Tomatillo salsa is so good! I love how you adapted this to make it work for you!

Thank you,
Gigi😊⚾️

Hahaha! It is so easy, I can see why you’d be skeptical. Thanks for trying and leaving a comment and a 5 star rating. Happy eating!

I’m so sorry you were disappointed in this recipe. I know what a let down it is to invest in a recipe and then not care for it. It typically gets rave reviews, so I’m not sure what went wrong. If you try it again, maybe just double all the spices, or simply adjust to your liking. If you used fresh cooked chicken, that can be bland if it wasn’t salted well (meat loves salt). Rotisserie generally has a lot of salt in it. The type of beans can come more or less flavorful too. Thanks for trying it and sharing your feedback.

Congratulations on your new baby! Yes, I have frozen this before and it works fine–however, here’s the change I make: Leave the cheese out and just add once it’s warm and you can stir it in to melt it. Sometimes the cheese can sink and sit at the bottom. It does call for a good amount of cheese and it adds a lot of flavor, so I don’t recommend leaving it out. Some people like to just top it with cheese, but still like it stirred in. It makes a nice creamy cheesy broth. 🙂 Another thing to note is that sometimes milk or cream can separate when heated. That hasn’t happened to me in this recipe, but if you come across that, give it a good stir and it’s just fine.

I am prepping some meals before baby comes and would love to make this. Wondering if you have tried freezing it before?

Thanks,

I have used green salsa in this before too, and it is delicious! Homemade stock is the best. Thanks for letting me know how it turned out.

Hi Doris,
You’re absolutely right, I would try 5 minutes for the IP. You also may want to wait and add the cheese after cooking so it doesn’t sink and stick to the bottom.
Let me know how it goes!

YAY!!! Love how you improvised and made it your own. I always love a variety of beans. Thanks for the 5-star rating, I’m so happy you loved it!

I love carb it’s where all the flavors is at. KFC doesn’t taste like it did back when Colonial Sanders was living, cause he believed in greasy chicken and lots of carb. You know it did, can you please get me a recipe with lots of crab fattening greasy foods

Hi Mary! Thanks for trying the recipe! I sometimes leave the cheese out till the end so I can just melt it in. I love the idea of adding pumpkin or sweet potato, thanks for sharing.

Yay! Please come back and let me know how you like it!! (You can always give it a star-rating too if you want)

I always like trying something different, definitely going to try this, sounds yummy 😋

I’m so glad you are enjoying this! Thanks for adding to the conversation and sharing how you make it yours– Love it!! Appreciate the 5 star rating too. Happy Eating!

Absolutely! The only thing I would do differently is add the cheese at the very end little by little so it melts. If you put it in all at once in the beginning, it may sink and burn. Some people prefer to leave the cheese out completely and just use it for topping. Either works. After putting all the other ingredients in the pan, heat it on the stove over medium heat until it’s heated through. If you have time to simmer it, it helps the flavors blend even more. This is one of those recipes that almost tastes better the second day. 🙂 Enjoy!!

Could I make this stovetop instead of crockpot?

So glad you loved it! Using Salsa Verde is a great idea to change it up. Thanks for sharing that. 🙂

Hi Rachael, The great thing about this recipe is it is very adaptable! Next time, try using less cheese, or, leave it out completely and just add it as a garnish to your bowl. Everyone has different tastes. 🙂

Yes! We have come back to it again and again. I always make it for potlucks and it always gets gone.

Yes, the whole thing! This recipe is an oldie but goody. If you’re not comfortable with adding the liquid from the beans and you prefer to rinse them, that’s totally fine, you may just want to add some extra thin liquid to compensate (broth or water). This many years later in my life, I usually rinse my beans, but with this recipe for the ease and dump and go, I usually just dump it all in. 🙂

I’m so glad you liked it!! Thanks for letting me know.

Colleen, Thanks for bringing this to my attention, you’re absolutely right, there was a typo. I’ve made the correction and it should be accurate now. I only wish it could be 2 carbs! LOL! It is a great recipe, not the healthiest, but it’s all real food and so delicious! Blessings to you!

Hi Marilee, yes, you can freeze it. As it thaws, it may separate, but once you reheat it and stir it, it will come back together again. Because there’s milk in it, just pay attention to its freshness. I like to put a note on things like that so I know how long I have from thawing it to eating it. So, if you cooked it on a Monday, and put it in the freezer on a Wednesday, when you go to thaw it, I would make sure you eat it within a couple of days.

You are so welcome! It’s one of our favorites for sure. Thanks for stopping in to let me know how much you enjoyed it.

Most Definitely!!! I love avocados.

I always use chicken I’ve already cooked in this recipe. That being said, you could try it, but I personally have never done it. I would think it may be more liquidy/thinner, because all the juice from cooking the chicken would be in there as well.

Very observant! I used the slow cooker function on my Instant Pot. My traditional crockpot had broken, the insert was cracked. Because the Instant Pot had a slow cooker function I didn’t replace it right away. I was thinking it could serve as both. What I learned is that the slow cooker function on the Instant Pot does NOT compare to a traditional slow cooker/crockpot. The Instant Pot’s ‘high’ is like a slow cooker’s ‘low’. For this recipe, that didn’t matter because it cooks all day and all the ingredients are pre-cooked. Does that make sense? I have never made this recipe using a pressure cooker setting, however, if I were to, I would probably only pressure cook it for 10 minutes or so. I hope that helps. Also, thanks for pointing this out, I have made a note of it in the recipe card in case others are wondering too.

This recipe is really flexible, so you can use your favorite kind of cheese. I love cheddar, especially extra sharp, but mild cheddar goes great too. We also use colby Jack quite a bit. You can blend more than one type together as well, if you’d like. If you’re just not sure what you like, I’d start with colby jack. 🙂

This looks so delicious! A great dish anytime but especially on a chilly day!

I love that idea! Thanks for sharing, I will try that the next time I make it. I do have other chili recipes that I use corn in, but I’ve never thought about it with this one, especially white shoepeg corn, I’ll have to look into that.

Horace! You don’t have a crockpot?? 🙂 Yes, get one. Even though you could still do this on the stove top. If I had to eat one thing everyday, it for sure would be mexican. Love enchiladas too!

Thank you for stopping by and pinning my recipe! Don’t you just love pinterest? It’s my go to for searching things these days.

Thank you Audrey! I really enjoy your link party!

Connie, thank you so much for pointing this out! I obviously missed an ingredient. It’s fixed now. It calls for 1 tsp, but I usually add a little extra because I really like the flavor of cumin.

Thanks Ana!
