A creamy, spicy, and savory white chicken chili made in a slow cooker with corn, white beans, and black beans. This recipe features a velvety texture from cream cheese and frozen corn, offering a comforting meal that is easy to prepare and perfect for cold nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 can (15 oz) Great Northern beans, rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 can (4-5 oz) diced green chiles, drained
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 8 oz full-fat brick-style cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for consistency)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker insert.
  2. Add the rinsed Great Northern beans, black beans, drained green chiles, and chicken broth. Stir gently.
  3. Place the chicken on top of the bean mixture. Do not stir. Sprinkle cumin and chili powder over the chicken.
  4. Add the frozen corn on top.
  5. Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or High for 3-4 hours, until chicken shreds easily.
  6. Remove chicken and shred using two forks or tongs. Discard skin/fat.
  7. Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir. Cook on Low for an additional 30-60 minutes to thicken.
  8. Stir in cubed cream cheese. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and melted.
  9. Stir in lime juice. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

Use frozen corn for better thickening as it releases starch. Add cream cheese at the end to prevent breaking. If using frozen chicken, add 30 minutes to cooking time. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives. Leftovers keep for 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
