Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Spices

  2. Add green chilies and broth: Pour the can of diced green chilies and 1 cup of chicken broth over the seasoned chicken.
  3. Slow cook the chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Shred the chicken: Use two forks to shred the cooked chicken directly in the crockpot.
  5. Stir in cream and cheese: Add the heavy cream and shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the crockpot, stirring well until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, use diced green chilies with added heat or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative.
  • This chili can be made in an Instant Pot by cooking on high pressure for 15 minutes and then using natural release.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze portions for longer storage.
  • To thicken the chili, remove the lid and cook on high for 15-20 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.
