An array of spices keep this recipe just as flavorful as beefier chilies, and you can top it the same way, too. Cheese and tortilla chips never fail.

ingredients
1 pound dry great northern beans, soaked in water overnight
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans (14 ounce size) chicken broth
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder

Garnishes
shredded low fat cheddar cheese

chopped fresh cilantro
crushed baked tortilla chips
directions
Drain the soaked beans. Add to the crock pot with the broth, chicken, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or until the chicken is cooked and the beans are tender.
Remove the chicken from the crock pot. Let cool enough to handle then shred with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the crock pot.
Add the tomatoes and salt. Stir well and let cook for 30 more minutes or until the mixture is heated through.
Serve individual portions with the shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This was better than I expected it to be. Really quite good! I included the liquid from the canned tomatoes, which might have been too much. My batch turned out a little more stewy/soupy than "chili." But we still really enjoyed it!

I made this even easier by using leftover chicken and canned white beans. Dumped it in the crock and came back in 6 hours (on low). Delicious!

I'm not sure I'd call this easy since there really were a lot of steps to it but I would call it a FANTASTIC white chicken chili. One of my favorite ways to cook any kind of chili is in my slow cooker and this one turned out perfect. To cut the cooking time down a bit I partially cooked the beans on the stovetop first. I wasn't going to have 12 hours for this to cook and I don't like cooking on high. I was able to cut the cooking time down to 8 hours.

This was decent and pretty simple but not especially flavorful & a little dry. I was concerned about the amount of liquid so I added about 1/3 more than the recipe called for, in the future, I'd probably come close to doubling. My husband added Tabasco & I added Cholula and with those additions we were both happy with the chili. I did use beans which soaked for about 20 hours. Served with grated monterey - needed a mild cheese to not overwhelm the meal. My kids liked it "ok" without the hot sauce addition so that was a plus.

This is an amazing recipe! I used canned beans because I didn't have time to soak and it turned out great. I cooked in the crock pot all day and took to a chili party and this recipe was gone in 15 minutes and everyone raved about it!

I so loved this recipe that I've made it many times. I make large batches then freeze them and have whenever I want. soooo good!!! best thing is that it is low calorie and being on a diet, this is one thing I can look forward to.
