1 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
0.5 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
3 tsp garlic, minced
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (alcohol-free)
2 (15 oz) cans great Northern beans, drained
4 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
4 oz diced green chiles
Instructions
Place the diced onion, chicken breasts, and spices into the slow cooker bowl.
Pour the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce over the mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks before returning to the pot.
Stir in the drained beans, green chiles, cream cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.
Simmer on high for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the chili is creamy.
