A hearty and comforting chili made with tender shredded chicken, sweet corn, and creamy pepper jack cheese, all cooked effortlessly in a crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained if canned)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups white beans (cannellini or great northern, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (fire-roasted preferred)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Rinse and drain the beans if using canned. Shred the pepper jack cheese and set it aside.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and spices.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  5. Stir in the shredded pepper jack cheese and heavy cream (if using) until melted and creamy.
  6. Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
  7. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with extra pepper jack cheese, fresh cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

For a thicker chili, blend a small portion of the beans and broth before adding them to the crockpot. Adjust the spice level by reducing cayenne or using Monterey Jack cheese for a milder flavor.
