Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Chili
This crock pot chicken chili is perfect for a busy day. Just dump everything in the crock and come back later to a delicious meal!
What can I say about Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Chili? Well, it’s what I like to call a “Dump and Go” Recipe. Not having to precook anything makes this so much faster to get going when you need to get going!
This Crock Pot chicken chili has a lot of flavor, and you don’t even have to chop anything to get that flavor! For this recipe I have made good use of pantry spices to save you some time and effort.
This is such a good chili to throw in the slow cooker before you start your busy day!
My readers are always on the lookout for tasty slow cooker recipes that use boneless/skinless chicken breasts. This is a great one because the flavors are so good, and just a little spicy (see the links below for a few of my other slow cooker boneless/skinless chicken breast recipes).
If you want a milder version, skip the Rotel® style tomatoes/chiles and use a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes and a 7 oz can of diced mild green chiles. That cuts the spice by a lot, and those who do like a spicier chili can add some nice red hot sauce!
That’s what I often do as Paul isn’t into spicy food.
You can also use chicken thighs in this chili recipe. They are so rich and tender!

This was always my hands down favorite go-to recipe! Anytime I have to share a recipe for anything, I always pick this one! I stopped eating it for a while after getting diagnosed with bad reflux but I would like to try again now. Unfortunately I gave away my slow cooker but I do have an instant pot. Is it possible to adapt the recipe for a pressure cooker? Or use the slow cooker setting on the instant pot? Thanks!!
Hi Ana, you can use the slow cook setting on your IP on the hottest setting. Keep an eye on it to make sure your model gets hot enough. Stir it once or twice as the IP has a metal pot and not as nonstick.
I don’t typically leave comments on recipe blogs but this chicken chili was absolutely fantastic! My family of five raved about it and my husband was so surprised I found it on a blog (since a lot of blog recipes are just meh). I will place this in regular rotation. Thanks for sharing this!
I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed this recipe! It is one that not many people have made yet, so I am happy to get your feedback!
I made some changes. I cooked in pot on the stove using ground chicken browned with one chopped sweet onion. To which I added 2 garlic cloves.. white beans were my choice over black beans. Cumin, chili powder and paper were the only spices. Wife, too sensitive to spices. Eliminated chicken broth only using liquid from the beans. I only used half a block of creamed cheese only after chili had simmered for 1 hour. Omitted the corn.
This recipe has become a staple in my kitchen, especially since I am working from home. I have a small crock pot but I somehow manage to make it fit. I usually use a combination of breast and thighs when I make it. I don’t add the chicken broth due to my size constraints.
This FANTASTIC! i cook a lot and only a few thigs get put in regular rotation….this WILL be one of them. I just added a chopped, fresh jalapeno for some extra zing…..OUTSTANDING!
Thank you!
I want to try this recipe, but without the corn and using only 1/2 can beans and diced chilies. Can I just add some more chicken broth to make up for the liquid from the corn? Thx
Yes, but just a little, like 1/3 cup.
For whatever reason, it’s not letting me click the stars. This is definitely a 5 star recipe.
Fabulous recipe! Made it exactly as written! Excellent comfort food on a cold and wet night. Family gobbled it up.
I’m just curious if you prefer to use your actual slow cooker or if you tend to use the slow cooker function on the Instant Pot. I’m new to the Instant pot and have since moved the slow cooker to the basement, but would like to try this recipe. Is it ok to do this in the Instant Pot on the slow cooker function?
I don’t like the slow cooker function on the IP. I use my actual slow cooker.
Absolutely delicious! Even my kids had seconds. Thank you for this recipe.
