How To Make Ruby Tuesday White Chicken Chili
Step One: Place raw boneless chicken breasts right in the bottom. Add black beans, corn, diced green chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and chicken broth. No need to sauté anything first—your slow cooker will take care of it.
Step Two: Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step Three: Remove the cooked chicken breasts and shred them with two forks. The meat will be falling apart and super easy to pull. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Step Four: Add the cream cheese, let it melt, and stir until the chili becomes thick, smooth, and creamy. This usually takes about 20–30 minutes on LOW. Add salt, pepper, or extra chili powder if you want more heat or depth.
Step Five: Dish it up and finish with your favorite toppings—cheddar, cilantro, jalapeños, tortilla strips, sour cream, you name it.
Ruby Tuesday White Chicken Chili Recipe Tips
- Use raw chicken for the best texture: Cooking the chicken right in the slow cooker keeps it tender and easy to shred.
- Go heavy on the seasoning: White chili can taste flat if you skimp on spices—don’t be shy with the cumin and chili powder.
- Add the cream cheese at the end: Letting it melt slowly keeps the chili smooth instead of lumpy.
- Adjust thickness to your liking: If it’s too thick, splash in more broth. Too thin? Let it cook uncovered for a bit.
- Taste before serving: A final pinch of salt or chili powder can make the whole pot pop.
- Make it spicy if you want: Jalapeños, cayenne, or hot sauce will wake the whole bowl right up.
Storing Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
- Reheat Gently: Warm in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally for even heating.
- Freeze for Longer Storage: Portion the chili into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Keep Toppings Separate: Add cheese, cilantro, or tortilla strips just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
