### Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a slow cooker or large pot. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Cook the chili on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. If you prefer a creamier texture, add the heavy cream or milk halfway through the cooking process.
### Step 5: Return the Chicken
About 15 minutes before serving, return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir well to combine. Cook until heated through.
