Ingredients

1 medium onion diced
6 cloves garlic minced
8  oz fire‑roasted diced green chiles mild, drained
4  oz jalapeño peppers minced
2 cups sweet white corn kernels
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground black pepper
3 cups cannellini white kidney beans, no‑salt‑added, drained
8  oz brick‑style cream cheese softened
50  oz low‑sodium chicken broth
48  oz boneless skinless chicken thighs ≈3 lb, trimmed
2 cups great northern beans drained
1100  g potatoes cubed (≈2.4 lb)

Instructions

Dice the onion, mince the garlic and jalapeños; drain and rinse the beans, and cube the boiled potatoes.
Add onion, garlic, jalapeños, corn, green chiles, cannellini beans, great northern beans, cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper to the crock pot.
Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs on top, then pour in the chicken broth until the ingredients are just submerged.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours) until the chicken is very tender.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred with two forks, and return the meat to the slow cooker.
Stir in the cream cheese cubes and boiled potatoes; switch to HIGH and cook 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese melts and the chili thickens.
Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot with optional toppings like cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, or shredded cheese.
