Can this be prepared in a Slow Cooker?

We have shown you how to make white chicken chili on the stove. It’s a super easy way to make it in 30-45 minutes if you just need to get dinner ready to go. But you can also adapt this recipe to make it in a crock pot!

To make in a slow cooker, you just need to make a couple of changes.

Cook the onions, garlic, olive oil, and lime juice on the stove (as in step 1). Add all of the ingredients (except the cream cheese and heavy cream) into a large slow cooker. Cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours for a nice slow simmer, or on high for 2-4 hours to speed it up a bit. Once it gets to your preferred thickness, stir in the cream cheese until fully melted, and then stir in the heavy cream.

Now it’s ready to serve with all your fave toppings. Whether you make it on the stove or in a crockpot, it’s sure to please.
