A cozy and easy slow cooker white chicken chili made creamy with cream cheese and sweet corn, perfect for a comforting homemade dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed (Great Northern or cannellini preferred)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 can diced mild green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add sautéed onion and garlic, drained white beans, corn, diced green chilies, and chicken broth.
  3. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  6. Stir in softened cream cheese until fully melted and chili is creamy. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes if needed to melt completely.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or chili powder. Add a splash of broth if chili is too thick.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with toppings like chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Sautéing onions and garlic before adding to the slow cooker enhances flavor. Stir cream cheese in off the heat to prevent curdling. Use low and slow cooking for best texture. Keep some broth to toss shredded chicken to keep it juicy. Adjust seasoning after cooking.
