Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In your Crockpot, add chicken thighs, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sprinkle in cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Toss in the diced green chiles.
  2. Pour in chicken broth and add frozen corn. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are blended.
  3. Drain and rinse one can of beans, adding them to the crockpot, followed by the second can with its liquid.
  4. Cover the Crockpot, setting it to HIGH and letting your chili simmer for about 3-4 hours.
  5. Once cooking time is up, remove the chicken thighs, shred them into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Mash about ¾ cup of the beans with a fork to create a paste, then return the paste to the slow cooker.
  7. Gently stir in softened cream cheese and sour cream into the mixture and let cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  8. Finish your chili by squeezing in the juice of one lime and adjust seasonings as necessary.
