Ingredients
Scale
3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
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 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the raw chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour the rinsed and drained white beans, undrained green chiles, and undrained Rotel over the chicken.
Add the condensed cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the ingredients. Do not stir yet.
Place the cubed cream cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
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 cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili.
Stir everything together until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed before serving hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, you can use an immersion blender to briefly blend about one cup of the chili mixture before stirring it back in.
Serve this hearty chicken and white bean chili with toppings like shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, sliced avocado, or fresh cilantro.
This recipe is excellent for meal prep; it reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
