  • Combine chicken, water, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, seasoned salt, and oregano in a pot. Bring to a boil; continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, shred chicken with 2 forks, and return to the pot. Add beans, salsa, and chile peppers, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Do not allow to boil once cheeses are added; if boiling you can remove from the heat entirely. Stir until melted.
