Instructions

1. Make chili. To your slow cooker, add onion, chicken, garlic, spices, green chiles, poblano peppers, beans, corn, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Pour bone broth over top. The liquid should come to where the ingredients are, and they will just barely be covered. If needed, press the ingredients into the liquid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
2. Thicken chili. Remove chicken thighs and shred with a fork. Add cream cheese to the crockpot and stir until combined and creamy. Add shredded chicken back to the pot along with lime juice and a little salt and pepper. Let warm through, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Enjoy! Serve with your favorite toppings or sides.
