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 chiles, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese (for topping)
  • Sour cream (for topping)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, Great Northern beans, cannellini beans, diced green chiles, diced tomatoes and green chiles, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until they are well combined.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy.
  6. Taste the chili and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve the creamy chicken chili hot, topped with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even faster. Shred the chicken and add it during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the chili mixture (beans and liquid) before adding the cream cheese, blend it until smooth, and stir it back in.
  • This recipe freezes well. Cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
