This is an eMeals recipe that has made it into our list of family favorites. It’s now one of the ones I turn to on days when something on the menu plan doesn’t sound like something we’d eat.
Really, this White Chicken Chili is super easy and tastes great. It extra super-easy since I make it with shredded chicken that I’ve pre-cooked in the crock pot and frozen. That’s one of the ways that we make the eMeals menu planning service work for us. I still save by buying meat in bulk and pre-cooking a lot of it. With the vast majority of the recipes, I can use these pre-cooked meats to make dinner prep even faster and easier.
Ingredients:
3 Chicken Breasts (I use about 2 cups of frozen, shredded, pre-cooked chicken)
1 1/4 c coarsely chopped onions (I use a shake or two of dehydrated onions)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
15 oz can chicken broth (I use 2 cups water and 2 teaspoons chicken bullion from Costco)
2 (15 oz) cans great northern beans
1 can tomatoes and green chiles (Ro-tel)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
grated cheese to top the soup (I use cheddar but the recipe calls for Mozzarella)
Instructions:

Proof that I’m not kidding when I say “Dump it all together.”
Dump everything together and simmer for one hour in a soup pot or in a crock pot for 4-6 hours. If you don’t have the pre-cooked chicken, boil your chicken breasts first and shred.
Yum.

EMeals is a meal-planning service that we use and all the links to eMeals in this post are affiliate links. I get the service for free as a blogger, but I would pay for it if I didn’t because it fits our current phase of life very well. See how we make it work here. We use the Aldi Classic Family Plan, but there are all sorts of different plans.

That’s one of OUR favorites, too! There have been TWO different white bean chicken chili recipes in our inbox from eMeals in the past six months (one with tomato, one with shoe peg corn). We have loved them both.
I encourage anyone thinking about trying e-meals to be realistic about how they cook. Although I loved the taste of the recipes in the Low Calorie plan, the number of ingredients just boggled my not-naturally-organized mind, and I balked at cooking them. I scanned the sample menus for a meal plan with few ingredients (even though it wasn’t the “clean eating” ideal I tried to make myself conform to), and ended up with the ALDI classic plan (though we don’t have an ALDI within, like, a thousand miles: I just substitute at our local Food 4 Less). Bingo. Easy meals. Done.
My SIL made this with leftover turkey one year. Northern beans, not drained, salsa to taste and shredded turkey or chicken. My “recipe” is usually 3 cans of beans, one cup of salsa and a drained can of chicken! I tend to smash some of the beans to thicken the chili. Garnish with shredded cheese.
I don’t eat meat anymore, so I’m planning to try this with green jackfruit. This is what I’m talking about:
