Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Into a slow cooker, add the chicken breasts, mild taco seasoning mix, diced green chilies, diced yellow onion, drained white beans, frozen corn, chicken broth, and lime juice. Gently stir the mixture to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  2. Cook the Chili: Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks until shredded into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add Creamy Elements: Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream into the slow cooker. Mix for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
  5. Combine and Heat: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the creamy chili base. Heat through thoroughly.
  6. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with toppings of your choice such as sliced avocado, sour cream, and fresh cilantro for added flavor and texture.

  • White beans such as cannellini or great northern beans work well in this recipe.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or warm cornbread for a complete meal experience.
