- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup of diced onion and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt; cook for about 6 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of chili powder into the softened onions. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans, 1 cup of corn, 1 can of unsalted diced tomatoes, and 1 can of green chiles to the pot. Mix thoroughly and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Nestle in 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and season with a bit more salt. Cover and bring to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Remove the chicken breasts and shred them. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese into the chili. Stir continuously until it melts and combines seamlessly.

Notes
For best flavor, let the chili sit before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste after adding cream cheese.
