Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (e.g., Great Northern or Cannellini), drained and rinsed

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (mild or hot, depending on your preference)

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Salt to taste

1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for a dairy-free option)

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sliced avocado, sour cream, tortilla strips

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Begin by placing the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Generously season them with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano for a burst of flavor.

    Layer the Vegetables and Beans: Next, evenly layer the diced onion, minced garlic, rinsed white beans, diced green chilies, and corn over the seasoned chicken within the crockpot.

      Add the Broth: Carefully pour the low-sodium chicken broth over all the layered ingredients, ensuring that everything is submerged as much as possible to allow for thorough cooking.

        Cook the Chili: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should become tender and easily shreddable when fully cooked.

          Shred the Chicken: Approximately 30 minutes before serving, use tongs to carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot. Shred the chicken using two forks, and then return the shredded chicken back to the pot.

            Incorporate Cream and Lime: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk, along with the freshly squeezed lime juice. Allow the chili to simmer for an additional 30 minutes on low, enabling the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Serve the Chili: Once ready, ladle the creamy white chicken chili into bowls and top each serving with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro. Enhance the dish further with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, creamy avocado slices, dollops of sour cream, or crunchy tortilla strips.

                Enjoy Your Creation: Delight in this comforting, creamy white chicken chili that pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or crunchy tortilla chips on the side!
