Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white beans (Great Northern or cannellini), rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can mild diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, tortilla strips

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken.
  3. Add the rinsed white beans, diced green chilies (both cans), cream of chicken soup, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir the ingredients gently to combine.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  9. Serve the Crockpot White Chicken Chili hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid mixture before adding the cream cheese, mix it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and stir it back into the chili before the final 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe freezes well. Cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
  • Use pre-cooked shredded chicken to reduce the cooking time if needed, but allow at least 2 hours on LOW for flavors to blend.
