Ingredients
Scale
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 (15 ounce) cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, undrained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (Rotel), undrained
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese (for topping)
Sour cream (for topping)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for topping)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour the rinsed and drained beans, undrained diced green chiles, and undrained diced tomatoes and green chiles over the chicken.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese cubes, ranch seasoning mix, cumin, chili powder, and chicken broth until mostly smooth.
Pour the soup mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili and stir to incorporate.
Let the chili cook for another 15 minutes on LOW to heat through.
Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
Notes
For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the liquid and beans before shredding the chicken, mash them, and stir the mixture back into the slow cooker.
You can substitute Great Northern beans with cannellini beans for a similar texture.
If you prefer a spicier chili, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
