Ingredients
  

Slow Cooker Base
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans or Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) fire-roasted sweet corn kernels, drained
  • 2 cans (4 oz each) diced mild green chiles
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Creamy Finish & Garnishes
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, cubed and softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
  • 1 whole fresh lime, cut into wedges for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup crispy tortilla strips or chips for topping

Method
 

Slow Cooking & Finishing
  1. Place the raw chicken breasts at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add drained cannellini beans, fire-roasted corn, green chiles, diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over all the ingredients. Top with the cubed cream cheese blocks.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until chicken is completely tender and shreds effortlessly.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Whisk the hot chili broth directly in the slow cooker until the melted cream cheese is completely smooth and velvety.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir well and let warm on LOW for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is fully melted and chili has thickened.
  6. Ladle into deep bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and a fresh squeeze of lime juice.
