Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans 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
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, chopped onion, minced garlic, cannellini beans, great northern beans, green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper into the basin of a slow cooker.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  4. Add the cubed cream cheese and frozen corn to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, if using, for a richer texture. Heat through for about 10 minutes on low.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • Shred the chicken easily by placing it in a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment and mixing on low speed for about 30 seconds.
  • Serve this best white chili recipe topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, or avocado slices.
  • This recipe is excellent for make ahead chicken meals; the flavor deepens overnight in the refrigerator.
