Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Great Northern beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 2 medium Jalapenos, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 4 oz Canned green chilies (mild or spicy, as preferred)
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cooked crumbled bacon
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 bag Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
- as needed Sour cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In the slow cooker, combine the cooked Great Northern beans, chicken broth, shredded chicken, diced jalapenos, diced onion, minced garlic, and canned green chilies.
Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir everything thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the onions and jalapenos to soften.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the chili becomes creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the chili hot, topped with crumbled bacon, extra shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream (if desired). Pair with tortilla chips for dipping or as a crunchy topping.
