3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can diced green chiles
3 cups chicken broth
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

2. Add the great northern beans, corn, diced onion, garlic, and green chiles.

4. Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
6. Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.
7. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
8. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy.

Notes
Do not add cold cream cheese straight from the fridge at the very end without softening it first, or it can stay lumpy instead of melting smoothly into the chili.
