Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing garlic, draining and rinsing the beans and corn, and measuring the spices and liquids.
  2. Add to Slow Cooker: In your slow cooker, combine the chicken breasts, white beans, corn, diced onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to combine the flavors evenly.
  3. Cook Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender enough to shred.
  4. Shred Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the chili mixture for even distribution.
  5. Add Creams: Stir in the heavy cream and sour cream until fully incorporated into the chili. Let it cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes to heat through and develop the creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Spoon the creamy white chicken chili into serving bowls, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, increase the amount of diced green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the chili will be less rich.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt content.
  • Leftovers taste great reheated and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or warm cornbread for a complete meal.
