Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Vegetables & Beans

  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can sweet corn, drained
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained

Dairy

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cubed

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are spread evenly for consistent cooking.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Layer the drained white beans, sweet corn, and undrained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  3. Season: Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the top of the layered ingredients.
  4. Add cream cheese and broth: Distribute the cubed cream cheese over the ingredients, then pour the chicken broth gently over everything to moisten the mixture.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked.
  6. Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker until it is well broken apart and mixed throughout.
  7. Combine and serve: Stir all ingredients together until creamy and well combined. Serve warm, optionally garnished with shredded cheese, diced avocado, fresh cilantro, or crushed tortilla chips for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute black beans or kidney beans for white beans if preferred.
  • For a spicier chili, add a diced jalapeño or a dash of your favorite hot sauce before cooking.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze beautifully for longer storage.
