Gut-Healing Easy Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
Gut-Healing Easy Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is a gluten-free, hearty and healthy crock pot recipe. You’d never guess it’s low-fat, too!
This post is sponsored by Vital Proteins. All opinions expressed, as always, are my own.
Chicken breast, white beans, canned green chiles, chopped shallot, garlic, seasonings, and your favorite toppings combine to create a satisfying chili recipe that’s high in protein and fiber, low in fat, and gluten and dairy free. I also included a couple scoops of Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin to promote digestive health. Don’t worry if you don’t have this on hand; it’s totally optional.
VITAL PROTEINS BEEF GELATIN
Vital Proteins brand gelatin contains only one unflavored ingredient – collagen protein. Vital Proteins collagen protein is a pasture-raised, grass-fed bovine hide gelatin powder. It offers comprehensive benefits for health, fitness, and beauty.
The gelatin can be mixed into both hot and cold liquids, but will gel if blended in cold or extremely hot. It is gluten free, Non-GMO, sugar free, paleo friendly and Whole30® Approved. Uses:
- For a hot drink, mix 1-2 scoops collagen protein into 4 oz. cold liquid, let sit for one minute then add 4 oz. of hot liquid to dissolve. Fruit juice, broth, or herbal tea are great suggestions.
- For adding to food, gelatin can be utilized in a variety of your favorite foods such as fruit gelatin, custards, soups, stews, smoothies and ice cream.
GUT-HEALING EASY SLOW COOKER WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
Gut-Healing Easy Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is going to be a hit with your family and leftovers just get better and better (hello easy weekday lunches!) This particular recipe makes a smaller batch, feeding about 3 people, so for plenty of leftovers I would suggest doubling the recipe. Actually, there’s lots of chicken, so you may just want to add another can of beans and another can of chicken broth. As an added plus, the ingredients can be assembled in the crock the night before (here’s the crock pot I have >) then popped onto the base and slow cooked whenever you’re ready. Delicious, easy, and healthy – what are you waiting for?!

I have been looking for gut-healing/gut-friendly recipes, and just tried this one. I love chili, but can no longer tolerate regular chili, as the spices and the tomato base bother me (really bad acid reflux). I followed the recipe, only omitting the green chilies and gelatin (did not have on hand) and it was amazing, with such nice flavour that was not too overpowering, just the perfect amount of spices!! This is a keeper, and the family loved it … thank you for the great recipe!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thanks so much for your feedback!
Can vital proteins collagen peptides substitute for the beef gelatin?
Yes, or you can leave it out altogether.
I love slow cooker recipes and this one looks delicious. Would love to try it for a family lunch get together 🙂
I have just saved this for trying next week. It looks so tasty and I love that it has healing properties, my gut is not good again at the moment.
I have been having to cut back on my red meat and I have been looking for something like this to cook in the house to have different things I can eat. This chicken chili looks amazing. Definitely something I will try out.
The images make me want to just make it right now!! I’m sure that is really scrumptious and I love that it is so healthy.

I dont use my slow cooker near enough. This looks like the perfect reason to do so.
The photos plus the recipe, good combo. The food looks delicious and healthy. I’m always looking for different ways cook chicken.

Awww, I wish I had come across this article 24 hours sooner. I just bought the ingredients for my very mediocre chili that we’re all sick to death of. We need another slow cooker recipe in the mix. I can’t wait to test this one out!
This looks yummilicious and super healthy, in fact a healthy twist from the routine diet.
A delicious and wholesome meal, perfect for the cooler weather as Fall creeps in.
What a great healthier twist on a fall classic! Looks fantastic!
Your pictures are great and really highlight your white chicken chili. This soup has me drooling over cooler weather here in Texas.
Very interesting, a delicious yet healing recipe! I love what you have done here with an already amazing idea. I might have to attempt this with my husband soon, he loves white chili. Pinning.
