What you need
Steps
Drain and rinse the two cans of white beans. Chop half an onion and mince 1 tablespoon of garlic, then add both to the slow cooker.
Add 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 cup frozen corn, both 4-ounce cans of diced green chiles, and 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth.
Stir in 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should reach 165°F in the thickest part.
Lift the chicken out with tongs, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir so the beans and corn are evenly mixed.
Taste the chili and add more salt or pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and set out cilantro, sour cream, jalapeños, avocado, tortilla chips, and Monterey Jack cheese.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the lid on while it cooks; every peek lets heat out and adds cooking time.
For a creamier bowl, stir a spoonful of sour cream or a handful of shredded Monterey Jack into hot chili just before eating.
Leftovers thicken in the fridge; reheat with a splash of chicken broth to loosen.
Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken; 165°F is the safe target.
Questions
Can I use frozen chicken breasts?
Yes. Add 1 to 2 hours to the cooking time and check that the thickest piece reaches 165°F before shredding.
Can I make it creamy?
Stir in sour cream or shredded Monterey Jack after the pot is off the heat. Do not boil the chili after adding dairy or it may curdle.
Can I double the recipe?
Use a 6-quart or larger slow cooker and keep the lid on. The cooking time may run slightly longer, so check the chicken at 165°F.
