About this recipe
Slow Cooked White Chicken Chili with the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of recipe that turns a handful of simple ingredients into a deeply satisfying main course. Searching for slow cooker chicken chili recipes or an easy weeknight dinner with your all-in-one kitchen machine? This is it. Boneless chicken thighs are gently braised in chicken stock with onions, an optional jalapeño for warmth, and a fragrant trio of cumin, oregano and ground coriander, until the meat turns spoon-tender and the broth turns creamy and full-bodied. The TM7 Slowcook function does the heavy lifting over several hours, meaning you can load the bowl in the morning and return to a kitchen filled with the aroma of a Texas-style stew. Because the chili is white — built on chicken rather than tomatoes — the spices stay delicate and the cayenne, black pepper and salt remain fully in your control. Serve it with crusty bread, a dollop of soured cream and fresh coriander leaves for a family dinner that tastes like it took far more effort than it did.
Preparation tips
- For the deepest flavour, chop the onions and jalapeño finely in the mixing bowl first, then let them soften before adding the chicken thighs and spices so the cumin and coriander bloom in the hot base.
- If you prefer a thicker chili, remove the cooked chicken thighs, shred them with two forks and return them to the bowl; the slow simmer will then reduce the stock to a creamier consistency.
- To make it kid-friendly, simply leave out the jalapeño and cayenne pepper; the cumin, oregano and coriander still deliver plenty of character without any heat.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the chicken thighs with extra white beans, sweetcorn and diced courgette, and swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock; the Slowcook function still builds a wonderfully rich, stewy texture.
- Festive winter variant: add a tin of green chillies, a pinch of smoked paprika and a splash of cream near the end, then serve with grated cheese, avocado slices and tortilla chips for a crowd-pleasing party bowl.
