Jake’s Tips for Perfect Easy Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

I’ve made this recipe dozens of times, and here are a few tips to make sure it’s foolproof and extra delicious every time:

• Go Rotisserie: Using rotisserie chicken saves time and packs in extra flavor. If you’re short on time, shred a pre-cooked chicken breast instead.
• Boost the Cream Factor: Make it creamy by stirring in ½ cup of cream cheese or heavy cream about 30 minutes before the chili is done.
• Meal Prep Magic: Double the recipe and freeze half for a stress-free meal later. Just portion it into freezer bags and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
• Customize the Heat: Love extra spice? Add a diced jalapeño or more hot pepper sauce to turn up the heat. Need it mild? Use fewer green chiles.
