Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium-large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Once shimmering, add one chopped small onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until they become fragrant and golden.
- Next, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1.5 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoons of pepper, 0.5 teaspoons of paprika, and 0.25 teaspoons of cayenne pepper if desired. Stir for approximately 1 minute.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken stock and add a 4-ounce can of green chiles. Increase the heat to high and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to low and simmer for around 25 minutes.
- After simmering, lower the heat further and incorporate ½ cup of heavy whipping cream and 4 ounces of cubed cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts into the chili.
- Add 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken to the pot and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes
For best results, cut cream cheese into small cubes for smooth melting. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
