Red and White Chicken Chili in the Crockpot

I consider myself somewhat of a chili junkie. I would eat it way more often if my family didn't get sick of it. I do like to eat chili in all its varieties and this chicken version minus the tomato base got the thumbs up from the kids and I consider that a very good sign. It is also possible to stock every item for this recipe in your food storage or pantry. I also love this recipe because it easily fed my family of five with the added benefit of plenty of leftovers. The leftovers will make really great enchilada filling once I drain off some of the liquid.
Quick Pantry Tip:
I recently realized that while I was really good at storing kidney and black beans I had ignored some of the other yummy bean possibilities available, like garbanzo beans and northern beans and cannelinis. So while beans make a great pantry item, don't forget to stock some not so common varieties.
