White Bean Chicken Chili Crock Pot
What recipe is Weight Watchers, good for you, and only ONE bowl cook and cleanup?
Crock Pot White Bean Chicken Chili, that’s what!
I love Ruby Tuesday’s White Bean Chicken Chili, so I decided to get to work in my kitchen to re-create this wonderful chili recipe at home!
This recipe is made with hearty white beans, and tender chicken.
All this makes it very satisfying!
It’s sure to ‘hit the spot’ during a chilly day.
Crock Pot White Bean Chicken Chili just so happens to have the added bonus of being figure friendly!
There are times a red sauce Chili can find its way to your table.
But this white bean and chicken chili should have an equal chance to be featured.
The addition of northern beans, chicken broth, white corn, garlic powder and green chiles provide a mix of spiciness and extreme flavor to the chili.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 1.25 lbs Boneless and skinless chicken breast or Deli chicken. Cut into cubes
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can 11 oz, white corn, drained
- 2 cans 15 oz size Great Northern Beans, drained
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 1 can 4 oz size green chiles, chopped
- 1 can 14 oz size diced tomatoes.drained
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 Packet White Bean Chili Seasoning Mix
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Cube Chicken and set aside. Chop onions and chiles.
- Brown chicken on stove if it is raw. Deli chicken does not need to be browned.
- Place all of the ingredients in Crock Pot.
- Cook at low heat for 8 hours.
- Stir in 1/2 cup Fat free sour cream (or plain lowfat Greek yogurt)
- Keep on warm setting until ready to serve.
NOTES:
Optional Additions
- 1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped, pinch of sugar substitute (I like the subtle sweet flavor it adds!)
- Add butternut squash or 8 chopped apples for a different flavor.
- I like to puree one can of beans in my blender for a thicker chili!
- I used the white bean chili season packet by McCormick
- If you don’t have a crockpot, you can make this chili on the stovetop in a large stock pot over medium heat. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
The option of using a stock pot or a crock pot allows you options for cooking your chili according to your own schedule.
Start your dinner before work or prepare it the night before.
Just add your chicken before to heat up the crock pot and tend to your schedule.
Have time during the day and don’t want to use the crock pot?
Simply use your stock pot and in one hour dinner will be on the table.
I prefer to use my crock pot. The aroma from the kitchen starts subtly and gets stronger as the day goes on.
I find that the ingredients have a chance marinate and combine and bring out a deeper flavor for the chili.
White Bean Chicken Chili is the perfect answer to warm up after coming home on a cold and rainy day.
Not only is your chili weight watchers, but it is homemade by you.

That looks amazing. Pinned.
Thank you Joanne for the compliment and the pin. Enjoy!
I started following Weight Watchers a couple of weeks ago so I was happy to find this recipe. And it looks yummy!
Thank you Donna. I have a few Weight Watchers recipes in here. The diet I am following for my health requirements is very close to WW so I was happy to find this one again. Enjoy!
Your picture caught my attention. Would like a big bowl full right now. Don’t know what to fix for dinner. We have a container of leftover pulled pork chili that I am thawing but sure wish I could turn it into this white bean chicken chili!!
I will trade you! I love pulled pork anything Leslie! I hope you get to enjoy the white bean chili soon. Enjoy your week!
Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Hope you have a great week and are staying warm.
You are welcome Helen. Same to you!
Thank you Marilyn for linking up at the #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty 34! Shared x 3. Now, do tell me what is the plastic on the pot?
Thank you Dee. You are always such a huge help to me. That plastic is a crock pot liner. It makes cleanup and transfer of leftovers a huge help. I never have to scour the pot. Just wipe it out with soap and water. I hope you get to try one! They are next to the ziplock bags in the grocery aisle. Enjoy your weekend!
Oh ok, a liner…I should have known. I love cooking in a crock pot. Have you tried one of the Instant Pots yet?
I much rather use my crock pot. I got a new stove last year and it has a convection oven setting. I have no idea how to use it or when. Supposed to just be a press of a button. I have 4 different size crock pots so I never got an Instant Pot. I am thinking it is a cross between a crock and a pressure cooker. Do you use one? And how do you like the difference?
I enjoy using my crock pots, seems simple and easy enough but my daughter got an Instant Pot and raved about it, so I got one too. I grew up when women were using pressure cookers on the stove top and many a holes were blown thru the kitchen ceilings by those things – so, using one scared me. From what I’ve learned, these new pots are not like the old pressure cookers. These are electric and seem to be safe and a hit with the younger generation that doesn’t have time to cook a nourishing meal once they and their kids all get home in the evenings. I’ve used it a few times, still not convinced I’ll use it regularly.
You just made me laugh! I remember making pumpkin puree the first time for pie fillings. That pressure cooker blew it all over the ceiling, stove and walls. What a mess trying to get it NOT to bleed through when we painted. I was lucky no one was near the stove when it went. My mom used to say “when the gauge started rocking to MOVE BACK.” LOL.
It’s definitely the right time of year for a hearty pot of soup – I’m glad you shared this week on our Encouraging Hearts & Home blog hop!
Thank you Linda. We just love a warm bowl of hearty soup and I am always looking for more recipes. Have a great week.
I love an easy crockpot meal and this one looks like a winner, Marilyn!
Thank you so much Pat. I just love this recipe and the crock pot is a bif part! Enjoy your week.
Still looks mighty good! Thanks for sharing it at the What’s for Dinner party! Have a wonderful week.

I love beans and if it can be mixed in with chili all the better, I say! Great recipe Marilyn! Pinning.

Thank you for being such. A gracious host. I will be seeing more of your parties in the future! Have a lovely week!
I have some very similar recipes and I never thought of pureeing one of the cans of beans to make it thicker. What a great tip! I will have to try it next time chili is on the menu! Thanks for sharing at My Busy Beehives #beeparty
I love the thicker dishes in the crock pot. It tends to make them watery and I hate using corn starch to thicken. I hope you like it! Have a lovely week!
Yumm! I am going to have to make this for my dad, he love white bean soup, but I never thought about making that into chili!
I love a good thick soup and this chili goes one step beyond. I hope you all enjoy it! That pic was from a chili cookoff. It came ion #2 out of 8 entries! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and have a wonderful week!
Thanks for sharing with us Marilyn. It sounds like a good recipe combo. Have a great week.

One of my go to meals. I like tons and tons of cilantro in mine!
This chili is a great alternative to the most common types. I love my crock pot! Enjoy your week!
