Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 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 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken, cannellini beans, great northern beans, green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, cumin, and garlic powder into your slow cooker.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until they are well combined.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cubed cream cheese until it melts completely into the chili, making it creamy.
  5. If you desire a richer texture, stir in the heavy cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  6. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this chili with toppings like shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or crushed tortilla chips.
  • If you are looking for simple weeknight meals, this recipe works well for meal planning; it freezes and reheats nicely.
  • For a slightly spicier version, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
