Slow Cooker Creamy White Chicken Chili (Easy and Gluten-Free!)

This Crockpot White Chicken Chili is one of my favorite slow cooker meals because it is so rich and delicious but also super easy to make. This is the recipe I use, but feel free to customize it according to taste. If you like it on the spicy side, feel free to use some hot green chilis and even add in some jalapenos.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 2 4oz cans diced green chilis (hot or mild, depending on taste)
• 3 15oz cans great Northern beans, drained
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 8oz block of cream cheese, cubed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:
   In the slow cooker, add the chicken breasts, diced green chilis, drained great Northern beans, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Give it a good stir to ensure all the flavors are well-distributed.
2. Cooking Time:
   Set your Crockpot to low heat for 3-4 hours or high heat for 6-7 hours. The slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and hearty chili.
3. Shred the Chicken:
   Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot, ensuring every bite is loaded with tender pieces.
4. Add Cream Cheese:
   Now, it’s time to introduce the star of the show – the cream cheese. Dice the 8oz block of cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the Crockpot. Stir the mixture gently, allowing the cream cheese to melt into the chili.
5. Final Touch:
   Season your white chicken chili with salt and pepper to taste. Let it continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the cream cheese to fully incorporate and create a luxurious, creamy texture.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Give your Crockpot White Chicken Chili a final stir before serving it hot. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream. Pair it with gluten-free cornbread or tortilla chips for a delightful gluten-free meal.
