Chef John’s Mississippi chicken chili could not be easier to make in the slow cooker with only a handful of ingredients. Made with cannellini beans, pepperoncini peppers, and a whole stick of butter , the chili comes out rich and delicious. You can substitute any canned beans for the cannellini beans.

Chef’s Note

You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs, but the thighs make for a better chili, and won’t dry out during the long cooking time.

For a more pronounced chili flavor, you can double the amount of chili powder. For a spicier version, ground chipotle can be substituted for some of the chili powder.
