How many calories are in a cup of white chicken chili?

How do you thicken white chicken chili?

To thicken chili you use a combination of beans, meat and veggies. The ratio of liquids (chicken broth) to added ingredients makes a difference. This recipe also calls for coconut cream, which makes this recipe rich and creamy.

If you want to make your chili thicker, consider adding more chicken, beans or cream to it.

How long should you cook chili?

Once you add all of the ingredients to the crock pot, the chili will cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. This will give the flavors enough time to simmer together and cooks the chicken so it’s easy to shred.

Can I freeze this chili recipe?

Absolutely! Chili is one of the best recipes to freeze. You can either freeze it before cooking everything or freeze it when it’s done if you have leftovers.

How to freeze before cooking: Add all of the ingredients to a large freezer bag and seal it shut. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the fridge and dump everything into the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

To freeze after cooking: Allow to cool and store in a large ziplock bag or air-tight container. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge and warm up on the stove or in the microwave.

I'm Molly! I'm convinced love is the answer, that you can enjoy veggies and butter equally and dessert (usually a cookie) can change the trajectory of someone's day. I believe in eating to feel good and love health/fitness. My favorite days are pool days and if I could be any emoji it would be this 🤗. My goal is to create a space that encourages self-love and helps you define "healthy" on your own terms. Thanks for joining me in my journey!

Raw veggies and squash and everything. It boils and blends on its own. Easiest squash soup I’ve ever made👌🏻 My mind is blown by this @ninjakitchen blender (it’s new this fall). I’m including it in one of my gift guides I’ll be sharing later today!
.
How to make it:
Add 2 tbsp coconut oil, small medium onion, cinnamon and nutmeg to the blender and hit “sauté.” Next add 1 raw cubed squash with 4 cups chicken broth and a few tablespoons of pure maple syrup. Hit the “smooth soup” button and 30 minutes later you have dinner!
