Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables
Place your chicken breasts (or thighs) in the bottom of the slow cooker. Then, chop the onion and garlic and add them in with the chicken. These two ingredients will bring a great base flavor to your chili.

Step 2: Add the Beans and Broth
Next, pour in your white beans (drained and rinsed) and the chicken broth. Stir everything around so that the chicken and beans are well-coated in the broth.

Step 3: Add the Chilies and Seasonings
Add the green chilies (either mild or spicy, depending on your taste), and sprinkle in your seasonings like cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Give it all a quick stir to combine.

Step 4: Let the Slow Cooker Work Its Magic
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for about 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. By the end of the cooking time, your chicken should be tender enough to shred with a fork.

Step 5: Shred the Chicken and Add the Cream Cheese
Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir in a block of cream cheese. The cream cheese will melt and give the chili a nice, creamy texture.
