Main ingredients

2-3 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts adds protein and texture
1 cup half & half contributes creaminess
32 oz chicken broth provides moisture and flavor base
2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern beans, drained adds heartiness and fiber
1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained adds sweetness and texture
2 cans (10 oz each) Ro-tel tomatoes with green chiles provides flavor and mild heat
8 oz cream cheese adds richness and creaminess
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded offers flavor and creaminess

Spices

1 tsp salt enhances overall flavor
½ tsp black pepper adds warmth
2 tsp onion powder contributes savory flavor
2 ½ tsp garlic powder adds aromatic depth
2 tsp ground cumin provides earthy warmth
2 tsp chili powder adds depth and warmth
2 ½ tsp smoked paprika contributes smokiness

Instructions

Preparation

In a 6 qt Crock Pot, place the boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom.
Pour in the half and half and chicken broth.
Add the drained Great Northern beans and corn to the pot.
Open the cans of Ro-tel tomatoes with green chiles and add them to the pot.
Cut the cream cheese into chunks and distribute them evenly throughout the pot.
Toss in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese along with all the spices: salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.

Cooking

Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for about 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
Once the cooking time is finished, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.

Serving

Ladle the chili into bowls and top with extra cheese, sour cream, diced red onion, slices of avocado, or fresh cilantro as desired.

Notes

This chili reheats well, allowing you to enjoy it again for a quick and comforting meal later in the week. For a spicier kick, consider adding more chili powder or diced jalapeños. Ensure spices are evenly distributed for balanced flavor.
