How to Make Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

Gather ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients and ensuring your workspace is clean.
Mix base ingredients: Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker. Add in the white beans, mild green chilies, chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, dried oregano, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined.
Add chicken: Gently place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the flavorful mixture.
Cook slowly: Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Shred the chicken: After cooking, carefully shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
Incorporate creaminess: Soften the cream cheese for about 30 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl, then stir into the chili.
Serve with flair: Dish out your warm chili and invite everyone to customize their bowls with toppings like lime juice, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, Mexican cheese blend, and tortilla strips.
