Print Recipe

A rich, velvety slow-cooker chili featuring tender shredded chicken, white beans, corn, and green chiles, blended with cream cheese for a comforting, dairy-rich texture without heavy cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained, or 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 8 oz block full-fat cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans and corn.
  2. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add onion, garlic, beans, corn, green chiles, broth, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
  3. Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours until chicken is cooked through (165°F).
  4. Remove chicken and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  5. Using an immersion blender or standard blender, blend about one-third to one-half of the chili directly in the pot to create a creamy base.
  6. Return shredded chicken to the pot. Add cubed cream cheese and stir gently to melt.
  7. Cover and let sit on Low for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cream cheese to incorporate fully.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
  9. Serve hot with desired toppings such as cilantro, cheese, sour cream, or avocado.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese (add at the end to prevent curdling). For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese or coconut cream. If using rotisserie chicken, add during the last 30 minutes of cooking. The chili thickens as it sits; add broth if reheating makes it too thick.
