Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds 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 chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • Optional toppings: shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add the cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, diced green chilies, tomatoes with green chilies, cream of chicken soup, chopped green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper over the chicken.
  3. Stir the ingredients gently to combine.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili.
  6. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Serve hot with your choice of toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or cilantro.

Notes

  • For a slightly spicier chili, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
  • If you do not have cream cheese, you can substitute with 1/2 cup of heavy cream added during the last 30 minutes of cooking for creaminess.
  • Shredding the chicken is easiest when it is still warm from the slow cooker.
