A cozy, creamy white chicken chili made in the crockpot with green chiles, white beans, and a touch of cream cheese for a comforting and easy meal perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced green chiles (mild or medium heat)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent and slightly golden.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  3. Transfer sautéed onion and garlic to the crockpot. Add chicken breasts, drained white beans, and diced green chiles.
  4. Sprinkle in ground cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth, ensuring ingredients are mostly submerged.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  6. Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  7. Add softened cream cheese and sour cream to the crockpot. Stir gently until cream cheese is fully melted and chili is creamy.
  8. Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes to meld flavors and thicken. Add broth or water if too thick.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or chili powder as needed.

Notes

Sautéing onions and garlic before adding to the crockpot adds depth of flavor. Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Adjust spice levels gradually. Leftovers taste better after a day. Add broth if chili thickens too much. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and use vegan cream cheese.
