Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs 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 with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Top the chicken with the rinsed and drained cannellini beans and Great Northern beans.
  3. Add the diced green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth over the beans.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped onion, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and black pepper over the mixture.
  5. If using, place the cubes of cream cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to combine everything.
  8. If you did not use cream cheese, stir until the chili is creamy. If you used cream cheese, stir until it is fully melted and incorporated.
  9. Serve hot with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid mixture before shredding the chicken, mix it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and return it to the slow cooker while stirring.
  • Serve this chili with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or tortilla chips.
  • You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with 1 cup of heavy cream added during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a richer flavor.
