Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 3–4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 (4 oz) cans fire roasted mild diced green chiles
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 (15.5 oz) cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 (15.5 oz) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 ½ cups frozen corn (thawed)
- 6 ounces (¾ block) cream cheese
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish (optional))
Instructions
- Lay the chicken breasts right into the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle over the cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne, dried oregano, and coriander.
- Pour in the chicken broth, then add the onions, garlic, and green chiles. Top it all off with a bay leaf.
- Pop the lid on and cook for 6–8 hours on LOW or 3–4 hours on HIGH, until the chicken is fall-apart tender. During the last 2 hours, add the beans and the thawed corn.
- Scoop about 2 cups of the chili and the cream cheese into a blender or food processor and blend to thicken. Pour that mixture back into the slow cooker.
- Remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker and stir everything together.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with toppings.
Notes
- Don’t skip the toppings bar for added flavor.
