I love healthy crockpot recipes because they make eating well easy, even on busy days. With just a little bit of prep, you can throw a few ingredients in the crockpot and come home from a long day with a healthy crockpot recipe that is already ready to be served. I don’t like traditional chili, so I’ve always wanted to try a lightened up version using chicken and lots of veggies and no added fat. After reading through a variety of white chicken chili recipes on the Internet, I adapted this healthy crockpot recipe and it was a huge success!

It’s a perfect comforting dish that is filled with fiber, lean protein and a healthy dose of veggies and spices! Using skinless chicken breasts gives you lean protein without unnecessary fat. Additionally, the beans add fiber and other heart healthy benefits. You can also add a few tablespoons of Superfood Turmeric, which contains turmeric plus 7 other delicious spices such as ginger and clove, which up the flavor and provides benefits, including helping to reduce inflammation. Feel free to modify this healthy crockpot recipe to replace or add some of your own favorite veggies or spices.

I hope you enjoy this healthy crockpot recipe just as much as my family and I did.

Further Food Commentary:

This healthy crockpot chicken chili recipe is loaded with fiber and protein thanks to the chicken and the variety of beans, so good for our heart & cholesterol levels! I love how this recipe doesn’t add salt, just lots of spices and fresh lime juice to give it the flavor it needs! Slow cooking is a safe way to cook meat without charring or burning which prevents the production of carcinogenic agents and it allows you to cook a healthy meal while away from home! Enjoy this one pot dish topped with anything, even scoop it up with gluten free tortilla chips for added crunch!
