How to Make Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili
Step 1: Layer the Base Place the raw chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, drained white beans, green chiles, corn, and all the dry spices.
Step 2: Add Liquid Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients. Give it a light stir to distribute the spices, though the chicken will remain at the bottom.
Step 3: Slow Cook Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is tender enough to fall apart with a fork.
Step 4: Shred and Creamify Remove the chicken to a plate and shred it using two forks. Before returning the chicken to the pot, stir in the softened cream cheese (cut into cubes) until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 5: The Final Touch Stir the shredded chicken back into the creamy broth. Let it sit on the “Warm” setting for another 10–15 minutes to thicken. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
