• For added flavor, sear the chicken in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
• Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition.
• If you like it spicy, add some jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
• Don’t skip the cream cheese; it’s what makes this chili so creamy and delicious!
• For a fun twist, serve it over rice or with tortilla chips for a crunchy texture.

How to Serve

This White Chicken Chili is perfect on its own, but I love to dress it up with some tasty toppings! Here are a few ideas:

• Shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack work great!)
• Chopped green onions

• Avocado slices
• Crushed tortilla chips for a delightful crunch
