What Kind Of Beans To Use?

I have used all kinds of beans in this recipe, the one shared in these images, I used a tricolored mix of pintos, navy and kidney. It is what they had organically available at the store I gathered the ingredients from. 

If you want true white beans, I recommend going with navy beans, white kidney beans, great northern beans, or pinto beans. Those are all great options, and the beauty of being a home cook, is as long as you have en idea of what pairs well together, you can substitute things in recipes with ingredients you already have on hand. This will often keep your whole food recipes more budget friendly if you can learn to make necessary substitutions.

I will say this, I have yet to use black beans in the recipe as it just never quite seemed to fit the taste I was looking for. 

Do you need chicken broth for this recipe?

This recipe does not require chicken broth, however, if it makes you happy to add a couple cups to make the chili a little more soupy then by all means, it will not hurt it or the flavor.

Toppings:

Sour cream and fresh cilantro go REALLY well with the white chicken chili. You can also top it with extra salsa, which some of my family does that too. Cayenne pepper to taste may add that little extra flair of spice if that is your thing. 

What does the Best Crockpot White Chicken Chili Recipe Only 4-Ingredients pair well with?

Tortilla chips is one of our favorites to pair with the white chicken chili. Cornbread is also a great option… 

I usually just sort of feel out what I am in the mood to make, if it is a busier day, corn chips will probably be it. If it is a cooler, less busier day, then cornbread fresh out of the oven is like enjoying a little piece of heaven. 

What kind of chicken?

You just want tender chicken. We usually will boil ours for a few hours when it comes to this recipe… However, if you are in a pinch you can use rotisserie chicken, chicken thighs or baked chicken. It really does’t matter as it will be marinated in the crock pot for a few hours. 

I have used boneless skinless chicken breasts, I have used whole chickens… Just use what is easiest and most budget friendly for you. The only must, is that you want cooked chicken for this easy white chicken chili recipe.

What kind of Salsa to use?

Your favorite! I have used so many different kinds, from homemade to store bought. What is your favorite? Start with that, and try others until you find the perfect one that suits your fancy. 

What kind of cheese?

I feel like you almost can’t go wrong with your cheese option. This recipe calls for monetary jack cheese… However, I have used cheddar, mozzarella, you can use pepper jack cheese, they all tastes good. My favorite is sticky with the monetary jack, but if I have something else on hand, it will go in. The best part,  my kids and husband have never been disappointed with any of  those options.

Can I cook Best Crockpot White Chicken Chili Recipe on the stove top or in the instant pot?

Absolutely! For stove top, I would start on medium heat for your white chili and add all the ingredients. You will need to keep a good eye on it stirring every little bit to make sure it doesn’t burn. 

For the instant pot, I would just put it on the chili setting. This option is a great way to get the recipe done quicker.
