Mix Ingredients: In a 4 to 6 quart crock pot or slow cooker, combine the dried beans (if using canned beans, add them later), chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, diced green chilies, salt, and desired amount of red pepper sauce.
Add Chicken: Place the chicken pieces into the crock pot, ensuring they are submerged in the mixture.
Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours if using dried beans, or on low if using canned beans, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the thickest parts.
Shred Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crock pot. Use two forks to shred the chicken meat, discarding any bones or unwanted parts.
Return Chicken: Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot, mixing it well with the bean mixture.
Add Remaining Ingredients: If using canned beans, add them now along with the white corn kernels, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chopped cilantro to the crock pot.
Final Cooking: Allow the chili to simmer on low for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the added ingredients are heated through and infused with flavor.
Serve: Ladle the hot white chili into bowls and garnish with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve piping hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish!
