Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 (15-ounce) cans Canned Cannellini Beans
1 (4-ounce) can Canned Diced Green Chiles (mild)
1 (15-ounce) can Canned Sweet Cor
4 cups Chicken Broth
8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Cumi
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon fresh Lime Juice

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup
  2. Place the chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker
  3. Sprinkle the chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the chicken. Ensure even distribution of the spices
  4. Add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans, drained sweet corn, and canned green chiles to the slow cooker. Do not stir yet
  5. Pour the chicken broth over all the ingredients. Make sure the liquid mostly covers the chicken and vegetables
  6. Cover your slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and easily shreds with a fork. Cooking times can vary based on your specific slow cooker model
  7. Once the cooking time finishes, carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Place them on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces
  8. Add the softened cream cheese to the slow cooker. Stir it thoroughly into the chili until it completely melts and combines, creating a rich and creamy base. Then, stir in the heavy cream
  9. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Stir everything together until well combined. The shredded chicken will absorb the flavors of the creamy white chicken chili
  10. Finally, stir in the fresh lime juice. Taste the chili and adjust salt, pepper, or other seasonings as needed. The lime juice brightens the overall flavor of this slow cooker white chicken chili
  11. Serve hot with your favorite toppings and enjoy your homemade Crockpot Creamy White Chicken Chili!

Notes

For the most tender chicken, resist the urge to peek during the slow cooking process.

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before adding it to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, velvety texture.

If the chili is too thin, create a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) and stir it into the hot chili during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken it.

Fresh lime juice added at the end brightens all the flavors and adds a necessary zing.

This chili tastes even better the next day. Store cooled chili in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

When reheating, gently warm on the stovetop or in the microwave. You might need to add a splash of chicken broth or milk if it appears too thick after cooling.
