Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Colby cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the rinsed beans, green chilies, diced tomatoes and green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth over the chicken.
  3. Sprinkle the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is smooth and creamy. If using, stir in the heavy cream now.
  7. Taste the chili and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Ladle the **Creamy Chicken Chili** into bowls. Top each serving with shredded Monterey Jack cheese before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid mixture before adding the cream cheese, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into the liquid, and then stir it back into the slow cooker.
  • This recipe is often called **Crack Chicken Chili Recipe** due to its addictive, rich flavor.
  • Serve this **Comfort Food Chili Recipe** with tortilla chips or cornbread.
