Equipment

Ingredients

1 med yellow onion (diced)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
3 tsp garlic (minced)
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 (15 oz) cans great Northern beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (7 oz) can diced green chiles (I used mild)
1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn (drained)
¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 ½ oz Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
8 oz cream cheese

Instructions

Place onion in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place chicken on top and sprinkle black pepper, salt, paprika, oregano, chili powder, cumin, and garlic over the top.
Add chicken broth, Worchestershire sauce, Northern beans, green chilies, corn, and cilantro.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Add chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese into the crock pot. Mix until well combined.
Cover and continue to cook for 30 minutes.
Stir before serving, and add your favorite toppings!

Notes

For those who enjoy spicier chili, enhance the flavor by increasing the chili powder quantity or incorporating diced fresh jalapeños during the cooking process. Consider garnishing individual servings with hot sauce or chili flakes to add an extra kick.
If your chili's too thick for your liking, just pour in more broth or milk until it's just right. But if it's too runny, mix equal parts cold water and cornstarch to make a slurry. Slowly stir that into the simmering chili to thicken it up.
