Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup frozen corn (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the rinsed and drained cannellini beans and Great Northern beans over the chicken.
  3. Add the diced green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chopped green chilies, ranch seasoning mix, cumin, oregano, and pepper to the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over all ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy.
  8. Stir in the frozen corn, if using, and cook for an additional 15 minutes until heated through.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving. Give yourself a high-five for making this easy dinner!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder with the other spices.
  • Shredding the chicken directly in the chili helps thicken the broth beautifully.
  • Serve this hearty slow cooker soup topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips for a delicious finish.
