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.

      Hey there! The coconut cream shouldn't be sweet at all, I hope you purchased the right kind! It has a bit of coconut flavor but most say they can't taste it at all. You could also swap in cream cheese if you aren't dairy free.

    I just made it and really like it. I would probably do less coconut since my family doesn't like that flavor as much as me. I think the problem for the person above is that the Goya crema de coconut is sweet! I almost used that but tasted it and realized the problem. Thai kitchen has an unsweetened one. That information would help. Thanks for the recipe!!!
