Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cans white beans (15oz) drained and rinsed. I used navy and cannellini beans.
  • 1 can sweet corn (15 oz) drained
  • 2 cans diced green chilies 4 oz cans
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (8 oz blocks) softened and cubed

Optional Toppings

  • chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapenos, avocados, shredded cheese, sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Add the diced onion, minced garlic, white beans, sweet corn, diced green chilies, chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
  • Stir the ingredients in the slow cooker to combine them well.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Add the softened and cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine and until the cream cheese is melted and incorporated into the chili.
  • Continue cooking on low heat for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings if needed.
  • Serve the white chili chicken hot, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapenos, avocados, shredded cheese, and sour cream, if desired.
