A simple, 4-ingredient slow cooker white chicken chili made with chicken breasts, cream cheese, corn, and green chiles. It is creamy, comforting, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz full-fat brick-style cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 can (15 oz) white corn, drained
  • 1 can (4-5 oz) diced green chiles, including juices
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded Mexican cheese, chopped cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts into the slow cooker. If breasts are very large, cut them in half.
  2. Pour chicken broth over the chicken. Add the can of green chiles with their juices.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder, cumin, and oregano over the chicken and broth. Stir gently to distribute spices.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove chicken from the pot and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  6. Add the cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker along with the shredded chicken. Stir gently to incorporate.
  7. If cream cheese hasn’t fully melted, let the pot sit on low for another 15 minutes.
  8. Stir in the white corn. Let cook for another 15-30 minutes on low to meld flavors.
  9. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust consistency with more broth if too thick.

Notes

For best texture, shred the chicken yourself rather than using pre-shredded. Cut cream cheese into small cubes to ensure it melts evenly. Add corn at the end to preserve its texture. If using frozen corn, no need to thaw. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but check broth and chile labels. Can be frozen, though cream cheese may separate slightly upon thawing; stir well when reheating.
