Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 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 Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained (mild or hot)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, onion, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients.
  3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  4. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Stir in the rinsed beans, diced green chiles, and Rotel tomatoes (with their liquid).
  6. Add the cubes of cream cheese and stir until the cheese melts and the chili becomes creamy.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream or half-and-half.
  8. Cook on low for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and fully combined.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this white chicken chili topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, or crushed tortilla chips for added texture.
  • If you prefer a thicker chili, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir this slurry into the chili during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • For a healthier option, substitute the heavy cream with evaporated skim milk or use less cream cheese.
