Description
Cream cheese chicken chili is made with beans, corn, RO-TEL, spices, and ranch seasoning to make a flavorful meal with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can RO-TEL original, undrained
- 1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 package ranch seasoning mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 2 tablespoons diced fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Avocado slices, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Step: Lightly grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray.
- Step: Butterfly the chicken breasts and place them on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Step: Add the beans, RO-TEL, corn, onions, chicken broth, loose spices, ranch package, and cubed cream cheese to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or on LOW for 3 – 4 hours until chicken reaches 165 F internal temperature.
- Step: Give the chili a light stir occasionally to mix the cream cheese in and to ensure that it melts all the way through.
- Step: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the chili, and set the slow cooker to high heat for another 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Step: Serve hot and garnish with diced cilantro and slices of avocado.
Notes
Chili powder refers to the spice blend common in the USA and Canada. For a true white chili, substitute pinto and black beans with great northern or cannellini beans.
