Make this comforting, creamy white chicken chili in your slow cooker for a simple, hearty weeknight dinner or game day meal. It uses accessible ingredients and requires minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 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 diced green chiles with jalapenos, undrained (optional, for heat)
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can 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
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Place the raw chicken breasts into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken.
  3. Add the cannellini beans, great northern beans, both cans of green chiles (with liquid), cream of chicken soup, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir all ingredients together gently.
  5. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili.
  7. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy.
  8. Stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
  9. Taste the chili and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid before adding the cream cheese, mix in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, then return the mixture to the slow cooker and stir until thickened.
  • Serve this **best chicken chili** with toppings like shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, or crushed tortilla chips.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, cook the chicken in the broth until done, shred it, then proceed with the remaining ingredients in a large pot over medium heat.
