Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can corn, undrained
1 can beans, rinsed and drained
(red beans, white beans, or pinto beans work great)
1 packet chili seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 block cream cheese
(8 ounces)
Optional Additions
Diced green chilies for extra flavor
Jalapeños for heat
Garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
Chicken broth for a thinner consistency
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream and tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Add the corn, beans, chili seasoning, cumin, ranch seasoning, and onion powder.
Place the block of cream cheese directly on top without stirring.
Cover with the lid and cook:
On HIGH for 4 hours
Or LOW for 6 hours
Once fully cooked, shred the chicken using two forks.
Stir everything together until the cream cheese melts into a rich, creamy chili.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or crunchy tortilla chips.
Helpful Tips
For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or extra cream cheese.
Rotisserie chicken can be used for a quicker version.
If the chili becomes too thick, stir in a little chicken broth.
Let the cream cheese soften slightly before adding for smoother mixing later.
