how to make white chicken chili in the slow cooker

One of the things I love about this crock pot chicken chili is that it is pretty much a dump and push start recipe. There isn’t very much preparation other than chopping the onions and some measuring. It’s also a good idea to set out your cream cheese a little while before serving so it has time to soften. This is a great trick for thickening instead of using flour or cornstarch.

• Add chicken, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and chili pepper, smoked paprika, onion, garlic, Cannelli beans, green chiles, and chicken broth to slow cooker. Stir.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• Remove chicken and shred, set aside.
• Add cream cheese to slow cooker, stir, then cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir again to fully mix cream cheese into chili. This works best with cream cheese that is already softened.
• Return chicken to slow cooker along with frozen corn and half and half, cook for about 5 more minutes, or until corn and chicken are warm. Stir well and serve with desired toppings.
