Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

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

1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles

1 cup frozen corn kernels

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of a slow cooker. Season them generously with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika for a flavorful base.

    Layer the Vegetables: On top of the seasoned chicken, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Next, layer in the drained white beans, diced green chiles, and frozen corn kernels.

      Add the Broth: Carefully pour the low-sodium chicken broth over the layers of chicken and vegetables. Gently stir the mixture to combine, ensuring the chicken stays at the bottom for even cooking.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the chili on the low setting for 6-8 hours or on high for about 4 hours. The chili is ready when the chicken is cooked through and can be easily shredded with a fork.

          Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return the shredded chicken back into the chili.

            Incorporate Creaminess: Pour in the heavy cream or half-and-half along with the lime juice, stirring well to combine all the elements. Allow the chili to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes so it can heat thoroughly and blend the flavors.

              Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy chili into serving bowls while it's hot. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro and any desired toppings such as creamy avocado slices, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra indulgent touch.
