Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1.5 pounds), cut into bite-sized pieces or kept whole for shredding later
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cut into chunks
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Instructions

  • Prep Your Chicken: If you want shredded chicken, leave the breasts whole and shred them at the end. Otherwise, cut chicken into bite-sized chunks before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Combine Ingredients: In the crock pot, add the chicken, diced onion, minced garlic, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with liquid, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a light stir to spread the spices evenly.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. You want the chicken to be tender and fully cooked through.
  • Add Cream Cheese and Mix: When the cooking time is up, add the softened cream cheese chunks. Stir gently until all cream cheese is melted and fully incorporated. This will thicken and enrich your chili with that creamy texture.
  • Adjust Seasonings: Taste your chili and add more salt, pepper, or chili powder if it needs a little kick.
  • Serve: Dish it up hot with your favorite chili toppings or sides.
