Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast

  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken, cannellini beans, great northern beans, green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth into the slow cooker.
  2. Stir in the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients well.
  3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, add the cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy.

Notes

  • For a quicker meal, use rotisserie chicken for the shredded chicken.
  • If you prefer a spicier chili, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce with the other spices.
  • This recipe is great for meal planning; leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to four days.
