Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 15-ounce cans Great Northern or Cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 4-ounce cans diced green chiles undrained
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 oz cream cheese cubed and softened
  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, jalapeños

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker (6-quart or larger)
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, rinsed beans, diced green chiles, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  3. Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then set aside.
  4. Add the softened, cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. Stir well until the cream cheese is completely melted and the broth is smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir everything together. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a thicker chili, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Stir it into the chili along with the cream cheese and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened and cubed to help it melt smoothly into the chili without clumping.
