  3. Pour chicken broth over the chicken, and add diced onion, garlic, and green chiles. Tuck in a bay leaf.
  4. Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fork-tender.

  6. Blend a portion of the chili with cream cheese until smooth, then return it to the slow cooker.
  7. Shred the cooked chicken and stir it back into the chili.
  8. Serve the chili in bowls, garnishing with cilantro and other toppings as desired.
