# What You’ll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast

→ Beans and Vegetables

02 - 2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
03 - 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn kernels, drained
04 - 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
05 - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

→ Liquids

07 - 4 cups gluten-free chicken broth

→ Spices and Seasonings

08 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
09 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
10 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
12 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
13 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
14 - 1 teaspoon gluten-free chicken bouillon powder

→ Dairy

15 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
16 - ½ cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Lightly spray the crockpot insert with nonstick cooking spray to facilitate easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
02 - Place the diced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crockpot to form the flavor base.
03 - Arrange chicken breasts over the onion and garlic layer. Top with drained Great Northern beans, sweet corn, and diced green chilies.
04 - Evenly sprinkle ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and chicken bouillon powder over the layered ingredients. Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth, ensuring most contents are submerged.
05 - Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is tender enough to shred easily.
06 - Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot. Add softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt, stirring until fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
07 - Cover and cook on HIGH for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to fully integrate dairy ingredients and heat through. Stir well before serving and adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For enhanced creaminess, blend one cup of beans with broth and stir back into the chili to thicken naturally.
02 - Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving to brighten flavors.
03 - To vary spice level, adjust green chilies and chili powder accordingly.
04 - Prevent curdling by ensuring cream cheese and yogurt are at room temperature before adding, and incorporate during final simmer.
