Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Toppings: shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Pour the rinsed and drained white beans, diced green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth over the chicken.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, cumin, oregano, and black pepper over the ingredients.
- If using, place the cubes of cream cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili.
- Stir well until the cream cheese (if used) is fully melted and the chili is creamy.
- Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the chili mixture, blend it until smooth, and stir it back into the slow cooker before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier chili, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
- This recipe freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
