Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 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 chiles, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained (mild or original)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (4 ounce) block cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for more heat

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add the rinsed and drained white beans, green chiles, Ro-Tel, cream of chicken soup, and cubed cream cheese over the chicken.
  3. Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the cooker.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped onion, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper over the top. Add cayenne pepper now if you want more spice.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Stir everything together until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a naturally thicker chili without adding flour, mash about 1 cup of the white beans against the side of the slow cooker before shredding the chicken.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; it freezes well for up to three months.
  • Serve with toppings like shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream.
