Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, or thighs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 15-oz cans white beans, drained and rinsed (such as Great Northern or cannellini)
- 1 4.5-oz can mild diced green chilis
- 1 cup mild green salsa verde, (tomatillo salsa), divided
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp granulated garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½-1 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tbsp cream cheese
Instructions
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Add the chicken, onion, white beans, green chilis, 1 cup of salsa verde, chicken stock, garlic powder, cumin, and salt to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- Uncover, remove the chicken, and shred with two forks or dice into chunks.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the bean mixture for 5-10 seconds. Alternatively, carefully, remove ½ to 1 cup of the bean mixture to a blender. Cover, blend on high, then add back to the chili, stirring to combine. Note: blending for just a few seconds will add a creaminess to the creaminess, while leaving the texture of most of the beans.
- Ladle a few tablespoons of the bean mixture into a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese and stir until well incorporated.
- Add the chicken back to the slow cooker, along with the cream cheese mixture, stirring to combine. Taste and add additional salt or salsa if desired.
- Serve with any toppings you like.
Notes
- For a spicier chili, use spicy green chilis and spicy salsa verde.
- Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream (traditional or dairy-free), crushed tortilla chips, chopped onion, cilantro, fresh lime juice, jalapeno, Monterey jack cheese or dairy-free cheese shreds.
