Instructions
- Place diced bacon into a large stockpot, then cook, stirring regularly, over medium heat until the bacon is crispy.
- Remove and set aside, but reserve the grease.
- To the hot grease, add in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring regularly, until the onions and peppers are tender, about 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved corn juice from the can, chicken broth, tomatoes, green chiles, chicken thighs, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne, then bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through.
- Uncover, remove the chicken to shred or cube, then stir back into the pot along with the cream cheese, sour cream, corn, cannellini beans, great northern beans, and crispy bacon.
- Stir until the cream cheese has fully incorporated, then taste and re-season, if necessary, and enjoy with your favorite chili toppings!
