Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans (like cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or a blend of cheeses)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Add ingredients to the slow cooker: Place the chicken breasts, white beans, green chilies, onion, garlic, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, coriander, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper into the slow cooker. Stir everything to combine.
  2. Cook on low: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker.
  4. Add cream cheese and cheese: Stir in the softened cream cheese until it melts into the soup. Add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and stir until it melts into the chili, creating a creamy consistency.
  5. Finish the chili: Stir in the lime juice for a fresh flavor kick. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, or shredded cheese for added flavor.

Notes

  • You can use chicken thighs for a juicier and more flavorful result.
  • For a spicier chili, increase the cayenne pepper or add a diced jalapeño to the slow cooker.
  • You can prep this chili the night before, and simply refrigerate it until ready to cook the next day.
