We spent Christmas in Arizona this year and one night Uncle TJ made us this fantastic White Chicken Chili in the Crockpot! Seriously it was incredible! I was telling him how good it was and he joked that maybe now he could make it onto the blog! I knew he was teasing but when I started to think about it, I decided he had a GREAT idea! This White Chicken Chili in the Crockpot was soo good that it needed to be shared! So I paused to take some pictures and get the recipe for you! I love the combination of smokey cumin, creamy beans, hearty chicken and the homemade guacamole he served with it, took it over the top!! (which I forgot to add for the picture–but I did enjoy on my bowl of chili) It is a pretty simply recipe and I love that it goes in the crockpot. Easy and delicious!
Lots more on our Arizona Christmas here. It was prefect–sunshine and lots of family!!
Thanks Uncle TJ and Aunt Carrie for a wonderful dinner in your beautiful home!

This recipe is amazing!!!! I love that it’s hearty and full of flavor!!! It was an instant favorite!! Even my oldest who doesn’t eat beans ate this!! I had a hard time finding the pink beans…they weren’t where canned beans are, they were in the hispanic food aisle. We also added some cilantro! Thank you and thank Uncle TJ!!!

Oh my! This was just FABULOUS! I used the leftover turkey I put in the freezer after Christmas. I imagine the recipe would be twice as good with fresh chicken breasts. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
