Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans white beans (Cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can diced green chiles
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sauté chopped onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in cumin and chili powder, letting them bloom for about 30 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth and add drained and rinsed beans. Stir to combine.
Shred the cooked chicken using two forks and add it back into the pot.
Stir in diced green chiles, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is fully melted and chili is thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, avocado, and cilantro.

Notes

[‘Cut cream cheese into small pieces to ensure it melts evenly.’, ‘Use fresh spices for the best flavor.’, ‘Shredded chicken works better than diced for soaking up the creamy texture.’, ‘Let the chili simmer for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.’, ‘Customize the heat level with jalapeños or extra chili powder.’]
