This Easy 5-Ingredient Crockpot White Chicken Chili is creamy, comforting, and incredibly simple to make. With just a few pantry staples and a slow cooker, you can come home to a delicious, hearty meal that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2–3 medium breasts)
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) white corn, drained
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Drain the white corn. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes (about 1-inch pieces) and let it sit on the counter to soften.
  2. Layer everything in the slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the drained beans and corn on top. Sprinkle the diced green chiles over everything. Add the cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the chicken broth over the top. Place the cubed cream cheese on top. Do not stir.
  3. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. Stir everything together gently.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lime if desired.
  6. Serve hot with desired toppings such as fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, lime wedges, and tortilla chips.

Notes

For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker with a fork before serving. Let the chili rest for 10-15 minutes after shredding to allow flavors to meld. This chili tastes even better the next day.
