Description

Enjoy the comforting and kid-friendly flavor of The Easiest Crockpot White Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese, a perfect fall dinner recipe that combines tender chicken, creamy cheese, and flavorful spices in a hassle-free slow cooker meal. This easy-to-make white chicken chili is ideal for busy weeknights and cozy weekends, delivering a nutritious and delicious dish everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Optional: taco seasoning, cumin, garlic powder for enhanced flavor

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of your Crock-Pot. You can also use cooked and shredded chicken from leftovers or rotisserie chicken for an even faster version.
  2. Pour in the white beans, diced green chilies, and chicken broth. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add it to the crockpot. Sprinkle with optional spices like cumin or garlic powder for added flavor.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. During cooking, the chicken will become tender, and the cream cheese will melt into a rich, creamy sauce.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, then return to the crockpot and stir well. Serve warm garnished with cilantro or shredded cheese if desired. Pair with tortillas or cornbread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, stir in extra cream cheese or a dollop of sour cream just before serving.
  • Using cooked shredded chicken accelerates cooking time.
  • Adjust spices to taste for more or less heat.
