Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern) drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cans (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for mild spice
  • Salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Creamy Elements & Toppings

  • 8 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Avocado slices (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)
  • Red pepper flakes optional, for garnish
  • Tortilla chips optional, for serving

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Put chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Add the drained white beans, corn, chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green chilies on top. Pour in the chicken broth.
  • Sprinkle cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if you like some heat), salt, and black pepper over everything. Stir gently to mix spices well but leave the chicken mostly at the bottom. Cover the crockpot and let it cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  • Carefully remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the crockpot. Stir in the cream cheese cubes and sour cream. Mix well until the cream cheese melts into a rich, creamy chili. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Spoon the chili into bowls. Top each serving with shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a little extra spice. Serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side for crunchy fun.
