Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 (15 oz) cans white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed

1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles

1 cup frozen corn

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1/4 tsp black pepper

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional toppings: avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika.

    Add Vegetables: Layer in the diced onion, minced garlic, drained beans, green chiles, and frozen corn over the seasoned chicken.

      Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine slightly, ensuring that the chicken remains on the bottom.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.

          Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

            Make it Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) and lime juice, mixing well to combine. Let it cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to heat through.

              Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings like avocado slices, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
