I really don’t take near enough advantage of my slow cooker. It probably has something to do with the fact that early in the morning do I have the wherewithal to come up with a brand-new recipe. Or could have something to do with the fact that I prefer to sit around with latte in the morning writing something from the day before, and by the time I realize I need to start dinner in the crockpot, it’s too late. Let’s be honest, it’s clearly more of the latter.
But when I have the wherewithal to get it together and start a crockpot in the morning. I couldn’t be more happy about it come 3 o’clock, when I no longer have to ask the question of myself “what’s on the menu for dinner tonight?”
I decided to try out a white chicken chili, even though I’ve never had it before. My mother-in-law gave me a recipe along time ago for white chicken chili, but I couldn’t find it when I went looking for it, so in typical Jacqueline fashion I just decided to wing it and try and figure it out on my own.
Overall, I was happy with how this turned out, although it was a little thinner than I would have liked. I would recommend maybe using only 1 can, or 1.5 cans, of chicken broth if that’s what you’d like to achieve. The flavor was good, not too spicy- and you always have to love soups where you can pile on the cheese at the end!
