Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) white corn, drained
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (4 oz each) diced green chilies (mild or hot)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Optional garnishes: chopped fresh cilantro, shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, fresh lime wedges, thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add drained great northern beans, white corn, chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green chilies on top. Pour in chicken broth gently.
  3. Sprinkle cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper evenly over the ingredients.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
  5. Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. Stir in softened cream cheese and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of chicken broth if too thick.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro, shredded cheese, green onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime.

Notes

Check chili an hour earlier if your slow cooker runs hot to avoid overcooking. Soften cream cheese to room temperature before adding for smooth texture. Rinse beans to remove excess sodium and canned taste. Stir gently after adding cream ingredients to keep chili silky.
