Instructions

1. Put chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Add the drained white beans, corn, chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green chilies on top. Pour in the chicken broth.

2. Sprinkle cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over everything. Stir gently to mix spices but keep chicken mostly at the bottom. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is cooked through.

3. Carefully remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, then return shredded chicken to the crockpot. Stir in cream cheese cubes and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

4. Spoon chili into bowls. Top with shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado, and sour cream. Garnish with red pepper flakes if desired. Serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips.

Notes

This chili can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.

If you like extra heat, add jalapeños or more cayenne pepper during cooking.
