This is an easy, dump-and-go slow cooker recipe for creamy white chicken chili. The cream cheese creates a rich texture perfect for a comforting, hearty meal.

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 and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Top the chicken with the cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, diced green chilies, and diced tomatoes and green chilies.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
  4. Place the cubes of cream cheese evenly over the top of the ingredients. Do not stir.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, 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.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid mixture before adding the chicken back in, then mix with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and stir back into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • You can use pre-cooked shredded chicken to reduce the total cooking time, adding it during the last hour.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
