Does the cumin make it spicy hot? I'm wondering if I could half the amount or omit entirely.

I make a very similar version of this recipe on the stove top (poaching/shredding the chicken beforehand) and I don't find the cumin to make the dish hot, but rather the strength of salsa used. I.E., we use mild salsa and the regular amount of cumin. Depending on the brand of salsa, we find the medium a bit hot. I'm sure you could half or omit the cumin if you choose, however.

I once used pepper jack cheese and that spiced it up quite a bit! {#emotions_dlg.scared} A little goes a longggg way! {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Thank you, denise. Smile

Re: Crock Pot White Chicken Chili

I just made this today.It is VERY good. I used 2 cans of Costco chicken which I drained and shredded.I added no broth. I couldn't find a jar of beans....used 3 cans. It was so easy and is much greater than the sum of its parts. I can't wait to make this for friends.Thank you for this gem!!!

McCormick also has a spice pkg for White bean Chili. I have also made it & mixed in sliced Eckrich sausage. Great with cornbread also!!!
