Make a rich and creamy white chicken chili using your slow cooker. This recipe uses cream cheese for a smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, cannellini beans, great northern beans, green chiles, diced tomatoes with green chiles, chopped onion, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper into the slow cooker.
  2. Stir all ingredients together gently.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is smooth and creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid before adding the cream cheese, mix in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and return the mixture to the slow cooker before stirring in the cream cheese.
  • You can substitute frozen corn for one of the cans of beans if you prefer.
  • This chili freezes well for future meals. Cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
