Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 4- oz cans diced green chiles
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Method
 

  1. Add the chicken, onion, green chiles, garlic, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours, until the chicken is cooked and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  4. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Add the cream cheese and shredded Monterey Jack.
  6. Stir until the cheese has melted and the chili is creamy.
  7. Stir in the lime juice just before serving.

Notes

Add the cream cheese and shredded cheese near the end instead of cooking the dairy for the entire slow-cooking time; the article recommends this for a smoother, creamier sauce.
