Print Recipe

A hearty and comforting chili made in the crockpot, featuring tender shredded chicken, creamy beans, sweet corn, and spicy pepper jack cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 cups white beans (cannellini or great northern beans)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (4 ounces) green chiles
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and shred the pepper jack cheese if not pre-shredded.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Layer the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, followed by diced tomatoes, green chiles, sweet corn, and beans.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, and salt. Mix gently to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
  7. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot.
  8. Stir in softened cream cheese and shredded pepper jack cheese. Let it melt into the chili for about 10 minutes.
  9. Give the chili a final stir, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a thicker chili, mash some beans against the side of the crockpot. Adjust spice levels to your preference. Use reduced-fat cheese and cream cheese for a lighter version.
