Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of a crock pot. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder and cayenne pepper.
Then top with diced onion, garlic, great Northern beans, green chiles, corn and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
When cooking time is done remove chicken from the crock pot and shred with two forks. Return to the slow cooker.
Add diced cream cheese and half into the crock pot, stir and cook on high for 15 minutes or until the cream cheese is melted.
Stir and serve with desired toppings.
Can you use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They will just add a little more fat to your chili.
Can you make it in an Instant Pot?
I haven’t tested this recipe in an Instant Pot. I have a beef chili recipe you can make in your IP, so give that one a try!
How should you store it?
Leftover chicken chili should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep well for a few days.
