We've made a number of chicken chilies in the past. Most of them were pretty darn good, but I wanted something that stood out. This one does the job! As written, there is very little spicy "heat" in this chili, but plenty of great chile flavor. To add heat, leave the jalapeño seed in and maybe ad 1 or 2 more of them. If you can't find good poblano chiles, you can substitute, say, 5 or 6 ancho chiles, seeded and snipped into tiny pieces. (After all, the ancho is simply a poblano that's been allowed to ripen and then dried!)

How To Make spring hill ranch's white chicken chili -crock pot

  • 1
    Put the chicken pieces into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle the spice dump over the chicken. Now add the green chiles, poblano chiles, jalapeño chiles, garlic and chicken stock and stir it all around. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is cooked through and easy to shred, 4 to 5 hours.
  • 2
    Remove the chicken to a medium bowl and shred it with a pair of forks.
  • 3
    In a small bowl, whisk the heavy cream and masa harina until it is smooth. (In lieu of masa harina, you can use corn meal, flour or corn starch.) Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and stir it to combine.
  • 4
    Add the corn and return the chicken to the pot. Cover it and cook it on the high setting, stirring often, until the chili has thickened and the corn warmed through, about 30 minutes. Serve in bowls, topped with sour cream, grated cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado and a lime wedge.
