This Crockpot White Chicken Chili is a healthy, easy dinner recipe that will help you get cozy after a long, busy day.
The weather really took a turn here in Georgia and I’m not mad about it ( yet ? ) ask me that in a couple months and i might be a litttleee mad about it. As explained in my healthy crock pot honey garlic chicken recipe, I was not built for the cold. 
Cold weather makes me crave all sort of creamy, comfort foods — and since I pretty much live in my leggings once it hits the 70’s, it’s easy to get off track with healthy eating. All I want to do is cuddle up with a blanket, my laptop, some warm cookies and coffee and call it a day.
This slow cooker white chicken chili is the answer to my fall comfort food cravings, without breaking my healthy lifestyle. I genuinely feel better when I eat whole, real foods, so this dish is perfect for me (and hopefully you, too!)
The secret is in the toppings. Really though. Topping off your slow cooker white chicken chili with plain greek yogurt (instead of sour cream), avocado, a little lot of nutritional yeast and some salsa or hot sauce gives this chili an extra kick but also ups the cream factor while keeping it 100% healthy.
I’ve never been a huge cheese lover, except for goat cheese, but adding some pepper jack or a little mozzarella never killed anybody! A little goat cheese would probably be pretty good in here, too! I love adding it to my red sauce to create a creamy pasta sauce.
This healthy slow cooker white chicken chili has endless possibilities. It’s the perfect recipe to host a party and set out all sorts of toppings to build your own bowl. Being one of seven kids, pretty much every dinner was build your own and I actually prefer that now.
