Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion - diced

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons Taco Seasoning - I use this homemade recipe
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 oz cans Northern beans - drained, 15.8
  • 1 oz can diced green chilis (mild or hot - whichever you prefer), 4
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese - shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Crispy tortilla strips for garnish

Instructions

  • Spray the crock of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place diced onions and bell pepper in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with taco seasoning; place chicken in an even layer on top of the peppers and onions.
  • Add minced garlic.
  • Pour chicken stock into the crock.
  • Cover and cook for 5 hours on low.
  • When finished cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken.
  • Add all cheeses, diced green chilis (not drained) and drained beans to the crock.
  • Cover and cook for 30-45 minutes more.
  • Stir until all cheeses are blended into the broth and it has a creamy consistency.
  • Serve in bowls and top with green onions and crispy tortilla strips.

Notes

  • Add Rotel Tomatoes: This gives a nice kick to the the chili recipe.
  • Extra Beans: Feel free to add more beans for extra fiber.
  • Variation tip: Feel free to add as many tips as you need in this section
  • Alternate protein ingredient: Turkey breast can be used in place of the chicken breast.
  • Alternate cooking method tip: The Instant Pot is a wonderful way to cook this chili. Pressure cook for 15 minutes on the high setting. Manual release pressure and then continue with the recipe.
  • Dietary consideration tip: Watching salt? Carbohydrates? Saturated Fat? Adjust the recipe with ingredients that suit your needs.
  • Spices: Making your own taco seasoning is a great way to adjust the amounts of cumin, chili powder, onion powder to make the spices perfect for your family.
