Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white beans (like cannellini or great northern), rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the rinsed beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies, and canned green chilies over the chicken.
  3. Stir in the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Add the water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. Add the cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and the chili becomes creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
  • Serve this creamy chicken chili topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
  • This recipe makes excellent leftovers and freezes well after the cream cheese has been incorporated.
