Ingredients

For the White Chicken Chili:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 (4 oz.) cans diced green chilies
  • 1 (15 oz.) can great northern beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz.) can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz.) can corn drained
  • 24 oz. chicken broth
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (+ ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • small handful of chopped cilantro (about ¼ cup)
  • ¼ cup half & half
  • 4 oz. cream cheese

Toppings (optional):

  • dollop of sour cream
  • fresh chopped cilantro
  • tortilla chips
  • shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

  • Trim chicken of excess fat, then add to the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with the seasonings (cumin, chili powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, and salt and pepper.)
  • Add in diced onion, beans, corn, green chilies, chicken broth, and a handful of fresh chopped cilantro. Stir.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
  • Once ready, shred the chicken. You can remove the chicken from the crockpot to a plate to do this, or shred it right in the cooker.
  • Set the slow cooker to HIGH and add in the cream cheese and half and half. Stir, then cover and cook for 15 minutes until the cream cheese has completely melted. The chili should be slightly thickened and look creamy. You can stir the chili, flattening any remaining lumps of cream cheese against the side of the slow cooker, to ensure a smooth texture.
  • Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro. Pair with tortilla chips, cornbread, etc.
