Ingredients
  

Slow Cooker Chicken & Broth Base
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cans (15 oz) Great Northern beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 cans (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 cup sweet corn
  • 3 cups chicken broth
Savory Spice Blend
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Creamy Finish & Toppings
  • 8 oz cream cheese cubed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • assorted toppings

Method
 

  1. Place raw chicken breasts at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add diced onion, minced garlic, rinsed Great Northern beans, green chilies, sweet corn, cumin, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour chicken broth over everything.
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is exceptionally tender and easily shreddable.
  1. Transfer chicken breasts to a cutting board and shred with two forks into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  1. Add the cubed cream cheese and heavy cream to the slow cooker. Stir gently, replace the lid, and cook on LOW for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the cream cheese melts completely. Whisk until silky and smooth.
  1. Stir in fresh lime juice to brighten the flavors. Ladle into deep bowls and top with shredded pepper jack cheese, avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and warm crispy tortilla chips!
