Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs 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 chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Toppings: shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro

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, chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper over the chicken.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. If using, add the cubed cream cheese and stir until it melts completely into the chili, creating a creamy texture.
  6. Stir everything together well. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro.

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 chili.
  • This recipe freezes well. Cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
  • Use pre-cooked shredded chicken if you need to speed up the process, reducing the cook time to 2-3 hours on HIGH.
