Instructions

Place the chicken breasts, onion, garlic, cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper into a slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Stir in the cubed cream cheese until it melts completely and the chili is smooth and creamy.
If using, stir in the heavy cream. Heat for another 15 minutes until fully warmed through.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a stovetop method, cook the chicken in the broth until done, shred it, then add all other ingredients except the cream cheese. Simmer for 30 minutes before stirring in the cream cheese.
For a ‘Crack Chicken Chili’ variation, add 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix along with the spices.
Top this chili with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, or fresh cilantro.
