Crockpot White Chicken Chili [Gluten Free + Dairy Free]
June 10, 2020

Crockpot White Chicken Chili [Gluten Free + Dairy Free]

I LOVE a good chili. Up until about a year ago I had never tried White Chicken Chili which honestly is a bit of a disgrace. Most recipes out there are filled with dairy, and my husband can’t tolerate it, so we avoid it for the meals we have together. If you’re dairy free, you likely know of the magic that is coconut cream. It’s the perfect substitute for dairy in recipes where you still want that creamy richness that most nondairy substitutes don’t really provide. My one hang up with it is that I don’t love having any coconut after taste. To my surprise, it actually blends in well to savoury recipes. Now, if you want the real deal you could definitely substitute that coconut cream out for sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy whipping cream. As always, my recommendation is to go for organic dairy if possible, the price difference is negligible in terms of organic foods, and it truly makes a difference.

This White Chicken Chili is slightly spicy, creamy, and a different twist on traditional chili. Keep it dairy free, or swap in sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy whipping cream for the coconut cream. To freeze this recipe, omit the coconut cream and stir in after thawing and reheating, before serving.
