Slow-Cooker White Chicken Chili

I spent a lot of my life eating fast food and frozen dinners, especially on those days when my energy and executive function are low. But it was important for me to start incorporating healthier, home-cooked meals. But that was a struggle on the days when I was struggling to function until I discovered the slow-cooker and started creating some simple dump-and-go recipes like this slow-cooker white chicken chili.

This recipe calls for simple ingredients. And if your energy is lower, you can substitute ingredients such as pre-cut onions instead of having to cut them yourself. For me, it is all about making things as easy as possible. But it still allows me to make good, homemade meals.

This recipe can be made gluten-free. Just use arrowroot powder or cornstarch as your thickener.

I love this white chicken chili topped with some cheese and served with a side salad.
