This is delicious! So easy for those nights when you don't have much time to prepare a gourmet meal! :)
Michelle A. says:

I just made this exactly like directed and it is amazing!! Thank you for posting!
Lyn says:

Hi there! This recipe looks amazing! Would I be able to make it in my crockpot? If so, would you have a suggestion for amount of time?
Cyd says:

If you make this in the crock pot, follow steps 2 and 3 as directed and then put it all in the slow cooker. Heat on low. Then add the sour cream and whipping cream right before serving like you would in the regular instructions. You don't want it to curdle or go weird on you. This recipe is usually 40 minutes start to finish on the stove top, so it doesn't take too long. But if for some reason you need to cook it in the slow cooker, it would mainly be to keep it warm for a longer length of time. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Lyn says:

Thank you so much! I must ha e been channeling you by osmosis, because this is what I ended up doing and it is DELICIOUS! I am so happy I've found you ladies!!!
Cindy Mindy Pindy says:

I made this through step one and step two and then froze and will reheat on the oven and finish with step three. Is that right? I'm having a baby in like, two seconds, and wanted to have this to eat when I'm exhausted because it's delicious. I already did all those things, but would you have any other suggestions or do something differently?
Cyd says:

So I'm guessing you cooked the chicken, onion and garlic. Then you will do the other steps when you are closer to eating it? That should work.
Lou the cook says:

Made it twice making it the third time for alot of friends love it thank you
Priscilla says:

What kind of canned white beans do you use? I see 2 different kinds at the store?
Cyd says:

Any kind of canned white beans will work.
Melanie says:

Wondering if you’ve made this in an instant pot?
Momma Cyd says:

We have a Chicken chili freezer meal that can be cooked in the instant Pot or the slow cooker. In the Instant Pot it cooks for about 20 minutes. That is with the uncooked whole chicken breasts. Then when it's done cooking, remove the lid and shred the chicken. I'm sure the creamy chicken chili recipe could be done in the instant pot too. You may want to add a little more chicken broth. and don't add the sour cream and whipping cream until the end after it's done cooking. If the chicken is cooked, your cooking time would be way less.
Autumn says:

I make your recipe every week, served with corn bread. We love this meal so much and I tell everyone about it. Thank you so much for the recipes!
Rebecca says:

Is the chicken cut into bite size pieces or shredded?
Momma Cyd says:

Thanks for catching that. You can really dice or shred the chicken. We shredded it for this recipe. We updated the recipe post.
Cris B says:

I have a quick question, why do y'all rinse off your canned beans. I have always added juice and all in my recipes.
Momma Cyd says:

It's a personal preference. Either is fine.
Deb says:

I have loved this chili ever since I found the recipe in one of my Taste of Home cookbooks many years ago. Thanks for sharing. Delish!
Courtney says:

Can this recipe be made in the InstantPot? What would I do differently?
Lisa says:

Hi there, quick question. Does whipping cream = heavy crea? Thanks!
Momma Cyd says:

Yes!
Ilene says:

This is a family favorite! We all love it! Would you please tell me the serving size? I need to know how much to measure for a nutrition plan.
Katie says:

This is a family favorite! It is so delicious and easy to make. I've had several people ask me for the recipe.
