So I can't take credit for this recipe - I found it online! But I was off work today and did A LOT of cleaning so I wanted a no-fuss dinner. What's better than a crockpot meal, right? :) In mine, I did exactly as shown below, including washing the beans so there was less sodium. I even bought no salt diced tomatoes!! (based on that, I'm sure my version has less sodium than what's listed below)

Ingredients

4 cans (15 oz.) S&W White Beans (I used white Great Northern beans)
1 can (15 oz.) Del Monte Petite Cut Diced Tomatoes
1 can (4 oz.) Ortega Fire Roasted Green Chiles, Diced
2 pkgs. McCormick White Chicken Chili Seasoning
3 cups Water
2 Large Chicken Breasts, Boneless/Skinless (8 oz. ea.)



Directions
Drain and rinse beans. Add beans, tomatoes, chiles, both packages of seasoning mix and 3 cups water to crock pot. Stir ingredients to mix well.

Lay both chicken breasts on top of bean and seasoning mixture. Put lid on crock pot.

Turn on to high setting. Cook 3-4 hours, or 6-8 hours on low setting.

Before serving, remove chicken breasts from crock pot, and shred the meat. Add the chicken back in the crock pot, stir and serve.

Makes approximately 12 1-cup servings.

Number of Servings: 12

    That sounds delicious! I rinse my beans to get rid of some of the sodium also. My husband has high blood pressure issues. I'm afraid the sodium is too high in the seasoning packets, too. I think I'll use some Cumin and maybe a little chili powder instead.. thanks

    Yummy! Unfortunately white chicken chili has been ruined in my brain ... need sour cream and topped with cheese!
    I think that would kill the calorie count!

    This looks awesome and super easy. I could easily substitute the chicken with vegetarian chicken at the end of the recipe. I'll have to try this one this coming weekend. Thanks!

    Sounds yummy....one way to cut the sodium is to use dried beans....which takes a little more planning but a great easy way to cut the sodium levels.

    Hey baby.. This sound really good. I doubt mike would eat it. Men can be picky eaters. But as I saw posted below, using dried beans would def cut sodium. I only cook dried beans anyway and I have some dry navy beans I can use. You just have to cook them in advance which take more time so that would have to be planned if you decide to go the dry bean route. But I am going to try this. I have all the ingredients except the white chili seasonings and the green thingys...I can make this and devide it into 1 cup servings and put them in the freezer....I love you!!!!

    sounds great. We like chili with out the beans, so I will most likely modify a little.
