Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
- 1 small yellow onion (150g) finely diced
- 2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 15-oz. cans white beans, rinsed & drained like white kidney beans, cannellini, Great Northern beans
- 2 4-oz. cans diced green chiles
- 1 jalapeno seeds removed and finely diced (can omit)
- 2.5 cups chicken stock (600g)
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp EACH: Italian seasoning & ground cumin
- 1.5 tsp EACH: salt & paprika
- 1.25 cups frozen corn (170g)
- 4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese (56g) softened
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro can omit
- Toppings: shredded cheese, tortilla strips, sour cream, etc.
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the cream cheese and cilantro to a Crockpot. Roughly toss to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
- When done, remove chicken and set on a plate. Use an immersion blender to puree about a 1/3 portion of the chili to thicken it, leaving some of the beans whole.
- If you don't have an immersion blender, you can also transfer a few ladlefuls of the chili to a food processor or blender and pulse a few times, then stir the mixture back into the chili.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and add back to the Crockpot to toss with the white bean mixture. Finally, stir in the cream cheese and cilantro.
- Serve up and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, tortilla strips (highly recommended!) + anything else that sounds good and enjoy!
