Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern or Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained (or 1½ cups frozen corn)
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- Juice of 1 lime
- Cooked white rice or quinoa, for serving
- Toppings: avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, tortilla strips (optional)
Instructions
- Layer the Ingredients: Place chicken in the crockpot. Top with beans, corn, green chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and gently mix.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
- Shred and Stir: Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return to the crockpot. Add softened cream cheese and stir until fully melted and creamy.
- Add Lime: Stir in the lime juice just before serving for added freshness.
- Build the Bowls: Scoop white chicken chili over cooked rice or quinoa. Add your favorite toppings like avocado, shredded cheese, or tortilla strips.
Notes
For a thicker consistency, mash some of the beans before returning the shredded chicken. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese. To make it low-carb, serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
