What’s for dinner this week? Well, not too sound pushy, but it should probably be Crockpot Creamy White Chicken Chili because it’s incredible and one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. You literally just toss a bunch of stuff in the crockpot wait several hours, throw a couple more things in, and then, you are golden. You probably have most of these ingredients on hand already. I’m obsessed with this recipe. I’ve made it every single week since I started working on the recipe for this here blog, and I cannot get tired of it.
I know you’re probably wondering, “Star, is everything going to have beans in it now?” The answer is No. Haha! But, since the new WW Freestyle program makes beans zero points and I’ve only liked beans for about six months now. It’s really opened up a whole new world for me, y’all! I know it’s not that exciting for most people, but for me it is. I’m sitting here eating a delicious chili with beans in it and I am obsessed. Who am I?! Me one year ago would be scrunching my nose up and saying, “No way!” I’m pretty proud of myself for giving them another chance. I stick to my guns when I don’t like certain foods. I’m pretty stubborn about it, to be honest. I wouldn’t consider myself picky in the least, but I like what I like. I still don’t like mushrooms so don’t worry, I’m still the same person.
What’s been going on this week for us? Well, I’ve been fighting a stupid cold. It’s been pretty persistent. I’ve been chugging all the water and eating approximately 300 Cara Cara oranges daily to combat this thing. I’ve kept it at bay, but it’s still here just enough to annoy me. Oh, and then Eric caught this persistent lil’ baby cold and well, we all know what happens when a man gets a cold. He’s practically dying, y’all. Send prayers. (He’s not. He’s FINE.) This chili has been on the menu daily because not only is it chili and we love chili and/or soup when we don’t feel well, but it’s packed with so much dang flavor that we can actually still taste it! I truly think that’s the most annoying part about a cold. You just can’t taste a thing! Which also makes my job hard. Womp womp.. I haven’t been able to really work on any new recipes this week because I can’t taste them enough. Oh well, it’ll be gone soon!
Another really fun thing that happened this past week is that I went LIVE on Instagram with a fellow blogger and friend! Amy over at Beautifully Broken Journey. She’s such an inspiring woman and I just really like her. You will too! Go check out her blog. I never go live because truthfully, I feel that I do better behind the camera. It was fun and we got to chat together, talk about our weight loss journey’s, different tips & tricks, and talked to so many people! I was dreading it in ways, but I’m really glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and did it. I think it’s important to challenge myself so that things don’t become stagnant, y’know? Anyway, I’ve been thinking that maybe I’ll do it again sometime and with better lighting (gosh, I had no idea the lighting was so bad. If you saw it, I’m so sorry. haha!) I’ll be sure to let y’all know!
Anyway, enough talk. Let’s get in the kitchen because I’m hungry and you’re going to be hungry after you see this.
Throw some spices together. You’ll need 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. More or less depending on your level of spice preference. I prefer a bit more especially with this cold I’ve got, but 1/4 tsp is a perfect balance of heat to me!
Throw a couple pounds of raw chicken breast in a slow cooker.
Add 2 cans of Great Northern Beans, 2 cans diced mild green chiles, 1 and 1/2 cups frozen corn, and the spices!
Then add 1 3/4 cups chicken broth. (low sodium if it’s available!)
Stir it up, cover it, set it to low, and forget about it for several hours! Go to work, go get your hair done, clean your house, take your kids to soccer practice, whatever ya want! Dinner will be ready later! We’ve got it covered.
Remove the chicken and shred it.
I just throw it in a bowl and quickly shred with two forks. You can also use a mixer!
Add it back into the slow cooker and stir in with everything else.
Grab 4 ounces of light cream cheese.
Throw it in the slow cooker and also pour a half cup of half and half with it. Stir it up. Pop the cover back on and set your slow cooker to high and cook for another 30 minutes. D
aaaaaand then it’s done. White Chicken Chili for Prez.
and it’s delicious. (squeeze some lime on it to make it even beeetttaaa)
so stupid good.
You can even take this White Chicken Chili to the next level by adding tortilla strips, shredded cheese, cilantro, green onions, but you surely don’t have to. It’s delicious by itself.
But, I’m the kinda gal that likes to go big or go home with my food.
I even added some freshly chopped tomatoes because why not at this point?
Oh my gosh, Did I mention this White Chicken Chili is delicious!? Make it right now, friends!
With love from my kitchen to yours,
Star

Making this for dinner tonight!
did you love it? We love this recipe in our home!
This is my fav white chicken chili recipe I have ever made. The seasoning is perfect. It’s a party for your tastebuds! I sub a can of Rotel for the green chiles, and only use corn if I feel like it. Still amazing! It’s currently in the crockpot again!!
This was the perfect sunday dinner on a cold night in Indiana! Plus it has given me some meals for the week too. I can’t wait to make this more!
Make this at least once a month during winter. I eat with chips and cheese. So yummy!!!
I think Iāve made this recipe at least 20 times. Flavor is AMAZING. Iāve used milk instead of half and half if I donāt have it and itās still delicious!
One of my favorite comfort foods! I tell all my friends about this recipe!
This is by far my most favorite recipe of Stars! And I love a lot of her recipes! This so such a healthy soup, but you would never know by how creamy and luxurious it tastes! I make mine in the crockpot and it turns out great every time! And the leftovers are even better!
AHHH-MAZING!! One of my familyās favs!! Thank you for all your great recipes!
Love it!! This was my second time making it and this time I realized I only had one can of green chilies so I used that and added a can of rotel and it still turned out great!
Made this today! It was perfect for a cold Tennessee winter day. I even texted a link of the recipe to my extended family. I told them how good it was and to check out your blog. I’ve enjoyed following you and your journey!
Every time I make this I can’t get over how good it is for how little effort is involved. Just dump it all in in the morning and it’ll be ready for dinner! The spice combination is perfection!
I have made the White Chicken Chili twice now. YUM!!!! I doubled the second batch. I have needed some variety in our menu. My daughter and I are doing WW so when @theshrinkingmomma recommended you I looked you up. We have also tried the Chicken Tamale Bake. Loved it! I even took it to a family that needed a meal brought in. Thanks so much for taking the time to make good food that is low in points. Not all of us love to live in the kitchen so people like you are appreciated!!!
So happy you found me and you’re enjoying the recipes. I just love Ginger(shrinking momma) too!!
Thanks so much for this recipe! My family loved it.
My #1, best of all time, most favorite SD recipe! Thank you for your recipes and helping this non-cook look like a pro!! āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
Whoops…it is in the crock pot and I added the cream cheese in the beginning. Is it doomed now?
Excellent flavor and so easy to make. my 5 and 9 year old’s ate it all.
Do you think this would work with turkey instead of chicken? (Thanksgiving leftovers problems)
I think it should be just fine, but I don’t know about cooking it in the crockpot (again) for several hours.
HI! I have this cooking in the crockpot as we speak and cannot wait to try it! Should I be using 2-1/2 cups corn or 1-1/2? the story says 2-1/2 but recipe calls for 1-1/2? I can add more if needed. Thanks!!
Hi Rachel, Sorry for the confusion, one and a half cups is the correct amount!
Can you make this with already cooked chicken?
I was SO excited when hubby said he would get all the ingredients tonight so we would have it for dinner tomorrow! Well…he got everything but the half n half . Think if I leave it out and double the light cream cheese iāll be ok?
it should be just fine! It tastes really really good without the cream cheese and half and half too
I make this all the time. Love, love, love it. Thanks for the WW points for the days I get around to counting them! I have two grown boys (and my hubby) who love this as well and are so happy when I make it. Today I was the ultimate in lazy and used costco shredded chicken and it was still amazing!
How did you adjust the time for already cooked chicken?
This was SO GOOD! I donāt really like beans so I only added one can, but it was perfect. The entire batch was gone in two days between my husband and myself! We also donāt like ārepeatsā and canāt usually eat the same thing multiple times in a row, but I COULD NOT get enough of this chili. The serving is huge and it is soo filling and comforting. I will make this all winter long.
I’m so happy you and your husband enjoyed it so much!
Made this for dinner last night…. SOOOO GOOD! My husband said “you better make this again”. thanks for all your great recipes!!
Put this in the crockpot yesterday for dinner tonight. I couldnāt believe how amazing it smelled and how flavorful it is. And so easy, thatās the best part! Thank you for this recipe itās definitely a keeper!
So happy you enjoyed!!
I made this yesterday. I’ve never made white chili before. We are big fans of regular chili. This was so good! My husband even commented about how great it was! I made it exactly as the recipe was written except I only used 1 can of green chiles because I could only find medium and I would normally buy mild.
This is my absolute favorite WW recipe ever! I’ve made this so many times and it NEVER disappoints!!
If I could give this ten stars I would. This is so darn good. I absolutely love this. It is on repeat on my playlist. The whole family enjoys it. Thank you so much for posting recipes like this that make it so much easier to eat healthy. āļø āļø āļø āļø āļø!!!!!!!!
Star, this is seriously THE BEST. Thank you for making and sharing it!!!
This is my #1 fav Star recipe. Iāve made it more than 10 times since I discovered it. Itās so easy to play around with and I really feel Starās biggest gift is her spice blends. Absolutely perfect! This is my all time favorite WW friendly recipe.
Thank you so much!! I really love making spice blends. I kind of obsess over it so I’m glad to see people notice it!
Is there instructions for the instant pot?
click here for the instant pot version
Made this tonight and it was excellent. Been doing WW for a month now and I canāt believe this is so low in points and tastes so good! Thank you!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Jessica!
Can you use pinto beans with this recipe?
You sure can!
Iām not typically a white chicken chili fan but at only 2 points on the blue plan for such a generous helping…I had to try it. Soooo glad I did! This is such a delicious, comforting and filling meal, plus it makes a ton so I gave my parents some(they enjoyed it!) Iām actually making it again got dinner tonight!
I’m so happy you enjoyed, Marissa!
I was wondering if you used frozen individual kernels of corn (as it would seem in the recipe calling for a cup and a half ) or corn on the cob, as the photo shows? Would it matter?
Hi Mary! It shouldn’t matter. I use fresh when it’s in season, but frozen when it’s not.
I love this recipe but I have no clue how you got it to be 6sp on green, I have it as 8 when I enter in all the ingredients .
So glad you enjoy. I’ll be sure to double check my notes!
You need to make this recipe ASAP! hands down the best white chili recipe I have ever had! I have sent this recipe to family and friends and it got glowing reviews from them all! I don’t know how you do it, Star, but seriously all of your recipes are delicious! You make being on WW so easy =) thank you so much for recreating all these comforting foods!
Oh my gosh! You’re the sweetest ever. Thank you so much for not only enjoying, but also sharing with your family a friends. This might be the best review I’ve ever gotten!
My 5th time making it. My husband and I can’t even be bothered to do the toppings because its so good by itself! I would love to put cilantro on it, but it appears that my walmart pick up person gave me Italian parsley instead of cilantro. The point is, this is “so stupid good” even without toppings!
Drain the beans or not?
Yes
I only have fat free half and half. Will that work???
Hi Judith! It’ll work just fine. I hope you enjoy!
Do you happen to know the sodium level per serving?
I made this a few weeks ago, I always double everything because my family is forever stopping by and I like to be prepared. I have been craving this since I ate the last bowl of leftovers. I am making it tomorrow and I seriously cannot wait to have it for a few more days. I have tried a few white chicken chili’s that were just flavorless, this one is phenomenal, no joke. I made some plain jasmine rice on the side because I only eat one meal a day and needed a little extra calories, but I did not garnish with cheese or sour cream like I normally would because the flavor is perfect and needs nothing additional. I would give this way more than 5 stars!
Made this. Amazing. So good and filling. Didnāt want to buy all those separate spices, so I purchased a chili seasoning mix.
I made this last night and loved it. The beans broke down a lot so next time I’ll add them during the last 30 minutes after I add the half & half and cream cheese. Adjusted the seasonings near the end. Such a good flavor. I will make this again!
Hi there! I used black beans and they did not break down at all š
That’s a good idea!
Hi, sorry if this has already been asked, but was curious to know if this is freezer friendly? Just made some last week and we have about half left over. Don’t want to waste it if I can save it to eat later š
Thanks!
It’s definitely Freezer friendly. I’m so sorry it took me awhile to respond to this. I just saw it tonight!
We made this last week and loved it! My husband wants me to make it again and double the recipe…have you or anyone else done that? Should I double everything with the ingredients? Thanks so much!
I haven’t doubled the recipe, but I think it should be just fine to double the ingredients. When its done you might need to adjust the seasonings a bit, but it should be really good. I’m so happy y’all enjoyed!
I love your recipes! I am not a corn eater, any suggestions on substitutions?
What about chopped cauliflower? Or add an extra type of bean in addition to the Great Northerns. Like black beans. Since you don’t like corn I’m guessing you don’t like hominy either? That would be another good sub.
This was so easy to make and SO GOOD! Thank you for sharing!!
So happy you enjoyed!!
We love this recipe and make it all the time! One of my favorite WW recipes!
What is half and half? And i don’t have any chiles in can here (netherlands) so is there anything i can use instead of that? I really wanna try this recipe š
Half and half is half milk & half cream.
I made this today exactly following the recipe and it was INCREDIBLE! Husband loved it too, which is also amazing.
I had to read the serving size over and over many times because a 1.5 cup serving is HUGE in the bowl. So very filing.
Make this today- you will really enjoy it. Thank you Star.
Omg this was soooo good and so easy to put together! My husband loved it too, and he is really picky! This recipe is a keeper for sure!
Half & half is basically, half milk, half cream. So, you could use milk and heavy cream, half of each to make up the measurement of half & half. The chopped chilis are found with the International foods, here, in the taco section. If you donāt have that, you could use jalapeƱos, or other fresh chili peppers… but use less, theyāll make it spicier.
Ack! I gave up trying to read all the comments looking for my answer! Sorry if this is a repeat! o.O
I’m hoping to make this using leftover rotisserie chicken. Should I add the chicken in later? Change the temp or cooking time? Curious what you would do to tweak for pre-cooked chicken. Thanks, Star!! <3
I’d probably just mix all the ingredients together and cook on low for just a few hours vs a long cooking time since you don’t have to get the chicken cooked
I’ve made this a few times and love it! Will leftovers freeze well?
Hi Becky! They freeze beautifully. So happy you enjoy!
Made this exactly as you had written. Delicious!!!
Thanks for letting me know, Sue! I’m so happy you loved the recipe!
I make this pretty much bi-weekly and it is a definite favorite! Currently I have fat free half and half on hand. Do you think that would make is as creamy as it usually is if I used that instead of full fat? I hate to make any changes since it is one of our favorite meals!!
Hi Melissa! I’m so happy you enjoy this recipe so much. I’ve seen plenty of people say they have used fat free half and half and still loved it! I’ve personally never tried it because I don’t keep the fat free on hand very often at all. I really don’t think it should loose too much of the cream factor because you still have the light cream cheese to help it along!
I made this for my family tonight, and it was delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
I made this tonight and it was delicious!!!! Thank you!
you’re welcome!
Has anyone had issue with the texture of the chicken? I followed the directions exactly, but the chicken seems almost TOO soft.
Made this tonight and it was amazing! Your recipes never disappoint, thank you for sharing them with us!
omg Star! this was amazing!! we made it tonight and it was just amazing! thank you for this recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed!
Could I swap in bone in skin on chicken thighs and use whipping cream in place of half and half?
for sure! shouldn’t make too much of a difference. Using heavy whipping cream and cream cheese might make it SUPER thick though, so I would just add a little at a time to get it to your liking.
This chili the bomb.com! So easy to make and full of flavor. Will be putting it in the monthly rotation for sure. Thanks Star!
So happy you loved it!
Can I just say āoh my lawdā! Star this soup is phenomenal!!!! We love it!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes.
Yaaaas! So happy you love it up!
Excellent this is the best recipe ever!
First anyone wondering about the instant pot:
I cooked all the ingredients that would have went in the slow cooker before the half & half and cream cheese on manual for 20 minutes then did quick release . I shredded the chicken, added the cream cheese and half & half and put the instant pot on slow cook for 30 mins and covered it. It came out DELICIOUS!! Next time I think I might slightly reduce the chicken broth because it wasnt as thick as I wanted and I know the instant pot doesn’t reduce liquid like a slow cooker.
Thank you Star for such an awesome recipe!
Iām trying this today! I canāt wait to see what everyone is talking about!
I hope you love it!
I absolutely love this recipe!!!! I love all of your recipes!!! Thank you for making my ww experience great!
You’re so welcome. I’m so happy you enjoy the recipes!
I don’t have a slow cooker, how long do you think I should cook it for on the stove?
How many servings does this make? I see that it says 11 cups and that a serving size was 1.5 cups. I got confused because there is nutritional information for 1 cup and not 1.5 cups like the serving size. I put the recipe in the WW recipe builder and got 3 points when I divided it to 6 servings.
Looks amazing! Fir sure gonna make soon. You’ve helped me w si many Weight Watchers ideas. Thanks
I successfully made this in the Instant Pot.
Followed the directions, added everything to the Instant Pot, except half & half. Made sure there was liquid under chicken breasts. Placed cream cheese cut in cubes on top of mixture. I used frozen chicken so 30 minutes on high with quick release. Iād do 25 minutes if the chicken was thawed. Remove chicken to shred. Stir in half and half. Serve. š
Hi! I haven’t tried this recipe yet but I am dying to. I always double check for Weight Watchers Freestyle points in my app (nothing against you, I’ve just had recipes be incorrect) and my calculator is saying 5 points for 1 1/2 cups and not 2. Do you know why this might be?
Thanks! Love your recipes
Are you using the nutritional info to calculate your points? If so, the nutritional information includes everything in the recipes like the beans, corn, and chicken all of which are zero points on weight watchers, but still have calories so I include them into the calorie information. I use the offical weight watchers recipe builder to calculate all of the recipes.
Is your “light” cream cheese the 1/3 less fat?
yep!
I made this today and it was absolutely delicious. I did use already shredded chicken that I made a few weeks ago and had in the freezer but I just let it all cook together on low for a while. I also added a little more chicken broth because it seemed like it needed it and I donāt know if itās because the chicken is already cooked and shredded and soaked up some of the chicken broth I had put in there. It was awesome and I cannot wait for leftovers tomorrow
Wowzers! I made this yesterday and it is SO, SO, SO delicious! Thank you for posting so many recipes!
This is delicious and I have made it twice!
Hi There! So I made this today, and without realizing you posted the points value, created it within my ap. I am not sure if I used a different can of beans, green chiliās, bag of corn, or what, but Iām showing only 0 point for a cup.
The only thing showing points is the cream cheese, and I used fat free.
Just wanted to make sure I didnāt miss something, or if you were counting toppings.
Big Hit in my house, by the way! And with the cold front coming in, Iāll be taking for lunch all week!
Hi Ashley! I do use light cream cheese and regular half and half. Did you use half & half? If not, I suppose it could for sure be zero points with just the fat free cream cheese! I’m so happy y’all enjoy it at your house!

Oh. My. Word. This is AMAZING. I had another white chicken chili recipe I liked, but I’m never making it again. I mean, why would I make that when I could make this? I wouldn’t. My husband actually had some before I did and said, “This is REALLY good.” He’s a foodie, so that’s a big deal. I’ve shared it with a couple of friends. One of them made it already and her 5 kids were fighting over the leftovers and asked if she could make it again. I think the blend of spices what takes it over the top. Make this RIGHT NOW. I’m serious. The simplicity of the recipe is the icing on the cake.

I wanted to throw my two cents in just because there are other people asking about making this with pre-cooked chicken.
I had an almost full Costco rotisserie chicken in the fridge that I needed to use up. And (luckily) all the ingredients in my pantry for this chili.
I made this dish once before, exactly as written, in the crockpot. It was super yummy but I was a smidge disappointed in how āwateryā it turned out. Not so this time! I donāt know if itās using pre-cooked chicken (not as many juices released) or what, but man oh man… this batch turned out SO good!
So, for any others wondering… yes! You can absolutely make this with pre-cooked chicken!
I pulled the chicken off the bird and left it in pretty big chunks. I also added an additional 1/4 cup broth and put it all in a pot on the stove, except the half & half and cream cheese, like Star says. I cooked it on super low, covered, for about 2.5 hours and then added the last 2 ingredients. Let that go for another 30min – 1 hour and really give it a good stir to break up any large hunks of chicken. And then good luck not eating the whole dang pot!
Thanks for the info, Caprice! I have never had a problem with it turning out watery (yet), but it is true! Some chicken breasts can actually hold extra water than others. I don’t know the exact scientific explanation behind it, but I have heard it multiple times and never actually took that into consideration. I’m so happy this batch turned out a bit better for ya using the pre-cooked chicken!

Just want you to know that my husband, who, at the table, seasons every dish I ever make, did not add a thing to this recipe. He proclaimed it perfect!
Wow!!! Needless to say, it was great and I will be making more of your recipes in the future!!!

Hahaha! Awe, you’re the sweetest! Thanks so much. I got banned from making this in my house because I made it every week for almost two months straight. It’s just TOO good!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed!

Hi! I’m a new follower. Let me just say, this recipe is AWESOME! I made a couple of modifications to mine…I didn’t have half & half, so I just used a full block of the FF cream cheese. And I only had one can of green chilies. At the end, I added about half a packet of ranch dressing mix and OH EM GEE. It’s delicious!!! My husband had NO idea that this was “light.” š Thanks!!

So i kinda missed the 1/2 and 1/2 part in the recipe when I was buying the ingredients so I used all 8 oz of my FF cream cheese. Not sure what it would have tasted like with the milk however this version was super yummy!!! Now to do the recipe builder and see how it changes the pts. I have the power cooker (insta potāish) and I did it on the Stew settings 10mins then let the steam out… threw my cream cheese in… put the lid back on set my timer to 5 mins and it was done! Topped with Fage 0% yogurt & cilantro. So freaking good. Thank you for another awesome recipe!!!!

Any ideas why when i convert this recipe at myfitnesspal (by copying and pasting the url into the recipe thing), and adding 11 servings it says 409 calories….
Did you double check the ingredients? I find when I do this at times it puts the wrong ingredients or measurements in.

I substituted light sour cream with skilled milk for the half and half and used fat free creamed cheese. I didn’t have green chiles so i substituted chopped red, orange and yellow baby peppers. I also used shredded rotisserie chicken and cooked it in a stockpot on the stove. Turned out GREAT and I will know it will be better tomorrow. Thanks so much!

Omg!!! This is excellent!! I made it with thighs since I had them on hand. Delish! I have tried several of your recipes… all have been a big hit!! Italian beef, bubble up bake, shredded chicken… all terrific! Thank you for sharing such deliciousness! As a family and mom who had lost 25lbs, I’m learning maintenance is tough… but your recipes make it easier!
I’m so happy to hear that they are making maintenance mode so much easier for ya. Thanks for letting me know!

Absolutely FABulous! Made this today. Love it so. Dang. Much. Next time I make it, I’ll be making a double batch specifically so I’ll have LOTS of leftovers to freeze for a rainy day. Thank you, Star. You’re my hero. š
Your hero!? You’re so sweet. Thanks! haha!

Thank you for this delicious recipe! We had it plain night 1 and 2, then on night 3 we drained it and made burritos dipped in a bit of Taco Bell chipotle sauce. Delicious and so filling!

Hi Star – I can’t wait to try this! Exactly they type of meal we love!! Question, I saw you calculated the Freestyle points, but when I add it to my app it says 5 pts for 1 cup; you say 2 pts for 1.5 cups. Can you explain the difference to me? Thanks!!
Did you add it via the nutritional info? The nutritional information includes all of the zero point items so it will come up higher in points. I hope you love it!

Any suggestions to make this vegetarian friendly?
I was just going to leave out the chicken and use vegetable stock, but Iām worried it wonāt have enough bulk.
I’d maybe just add an extra cup of corn and an extra can of beans to bulk it up. I think that should do the trick! =)

Made this for the fam tonight. The 5 yr old AND the 8 yr old snarffed it down, hubs went back for 3rds. Sooo good! I used the smallest recommended amount of cayenne, this would be great with more cayenne for nursing a cold!

As soon as I saw this recipe, I had to try it……but I didn’t have all the ingredients.
So in went black beans, creamed corn and Rotel as replacements for white beans, frozen corn and green chilis. All the rest was the same.
While I promise I’ll do it right next time, I have to say it was killer good! My brother in law was in town and he made me send the recipe to his wife ( I sent both versions.) She could not believe this was a Weight Watchers friendly recipe and enjoys your version a little more because of the zing of the green chiles.
As I recall, my variated version may have added 1 extra point on Freestyle. I didn’t care. It was quite filling and enough for me, although I added jalapenos and other zero garnishes. But my husband and brother-in-law packed on the cheese and garnish and scarfed down tortilla chips with it, and had second helpings………Always great to find a recipe that fits into my WW lifestyle while still pleasing people not in the program.
This will be a go-to meal quite often. THANKS and LOVE many of your recipes! FYI: I found you through the pages of WW Connect.
Hi Caroline! I am so happy you were able to make the recipe work for you with the ingredients that you had on hand. Most of my recipes are very forgiving in that way! I’m SO happy everyone enjoyed this one. I LOVE this one right now and I can’t wait to have it again this coming week. I’m guessing that the creamed corn may have added points for ya, but honestly 3 points for such a filling chili is a win in my book! I couldn’t believe that my version is only 2 points it almost feels like i’m cheating the system! ha! I’m so happy you found me. Thanks for stopping by to comment and rate the recipe!!

Star this is HANDS DOWN my favorite recipe by you EVER. I thought my heart belonged to biscuit and gravy bake but I’ve legit had white chicken chili everyday for almost 2 weeks now and I CANT STOP. Send help, the addiction is real. Also, I made it in the instant pot and it was super fast and easy!
Haha!! I agree. Seriously I was banned from making it last week I had made it SO much. I can’t wait till I can eat it again! I am so happy you love it! Thanks for letting me know it worked out in the Instant Pot!!

I made this today and holy moly was this good! I traded a mild chilies for a hot to kick it up a bit. YUM!
Thank you for the recipe Star
I’m so happy you enjoyed!! I do hot chiles too, but I didn’t want it to be too spicy for most people. Haha! I fear my spice level is always too high.

Does the 2 smartpoints count the optional toppings?
Nope, just the chili itself.
Does the 2 smartpoints count the optional toppings?
Nope, just the chili itself.
When I put the numbers in it came up 5 points? A little confused
nutritional information includes all of the ingredients including the ingredients that are zero points on ww freestyle therefore it’ll be different
when you say half and half do you mean cream? And did you calculate the 2 points per serving as if you used the cheese and tortilla strips?
half and half is equal part mixture of milk and cream. You can find it in the dairy section in the grocery store. The points include the chili the optional toppings would be additional points

Made this tonite for dinner- just delish!

I used Fat free half and half and it was fine. Portions in the freezer for next week! Great recipe!
Glad to hear the FF half&half worked well. Thanks for letting me know! SO happy you enjoyed it!

I drain the beans, but not the chiles. I’ll be sure to add that in the directions!

I made it last night. Wow, fantastic. Thanks for the idea about the mixer to shred the chicken. The best thing who would of thought it would fix the dreaded job of shredding chicken. Looking forward to this tonight. Thanks!

Hi! Can you tell me what brand of half and half you use?? Thanks!!
I either use Organic Valley, Horizon, or Dean’s! It’s just regular half and half, not fat free.

Is there a way to make this recipe with already cooked and shredded chicken? I have a big batch of your crockpot shredded chicken already made and was wondering if there would be a way to use that in this recipe?
It should work, but it wouldn’t need 7-8 hours to cook. I’d mix everything together (except for cream cheese and half and half) and cook together for about an hour then add the cream cheese and half & half at the end for another 30 minutes. Should turn out good!

Do you think the cream cheese could be replaced with plain Greek yogurt?
I haven’t really used greek yogurt as a thickener in soups yet. It should work though. Might not have the same taste though! Let me know if ya try it!

I did this last night and it was good!! I strained my yogurt into a cream cheese consistency.
Do you think I could use fat free half and half or would it not be creamy enough? Thanks!
It should be just fine! I just always have regular half & half on hand so it’s my go to!

Hi! Just trying this today. Do you save your recipes in the WW app? I canāt find it so probably not but just wondering. Not sure that is even possible?! Iām new here. Lol. Thanks!
I save them, but I just do the points and servings and sometimes they don’t have the same name as on here. I don’t write any directions out or anything there. Sorry! You can always quick add item or input the items into the recipe builder and save it!

It says 2pts for 1.5 cups on Freestyle but if you input the nutrition its 5pts for 1 cup….??
on ww freestyle it’s 2 points for 1.5 cups
Could you make something similar with precooked shredded chicken? Looks delicious.
Yes! I would just add all the ingredients besides the half & half and cream cheese to slow cooker and cook for 1 hour together. Then add the cream cheese & half and half then cook for another 30 minutes. It might not be as flavorful as slow cooking the chicken in the spices for hours, but I bet it’ll still be yummy!

Do you think this could be converted to an Instant Pot recipe? If so, how long would you cook it?
Hi there! I’m sorry I don’t have an Instant Pot so I don’t have that info handy. I’m sorry! I’m almost positive it could be though.
I just did this evening. I did manual for 25. It worked. Maybe didnāt have to do for that long. It was delicious!
For the Instant Pot conversion folks: when would you add the beans, half-half, & cream cheese?
I think you could. I have a Instant Pot and have made Pork and Homany Stew for 40 min then quick release then added the homany and shredded the pork. Iām going to try it in mine and see how it goes.

Do you think this would still work if I skipped the cream cheese and half & half?
It would be just fine, just not creamy.

Yes it can. Direction not much different. Use the soup button.
Made this tonight, I just died!!! This is sooooo good!!! Thanks for the great recipes! Iām sharing your site with everyone I know!
I’m so happy you enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing!
I made this in the instant pot.
I put all the ingredients (minus the half/half and cream cheese) into the instant pot. I put it on high pressure for 15 minutes. I let it naturally release for about 20 minutes. Then, I took out a bit of the broth and the chicken. I shredded the chicken with a fork, put it back in the instant pot with the cream cheese and half and half, stirred it together and that’s it.
