SLOW COOKER CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN CHILI

This came from the Plain Chicken blog -- her recipes are usually quick, easy and always delicious! I made this for dinner tonight -- dumped it into the crockpot this morning and it made the house smell delicious all day -- that's a good sign! The only thing I've changed is to halve the amount of cream cheese -- I found that a whole block was unnecessary for my taste. Otherwise, the recipe is hers.

Time 6h10m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breasts (frozen is fine)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn, undrained
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 hidden valley ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese, cut in chunks

Steps:

  • Place chicken on the bottom of the cooker, then cover with the canned vegetables. Top with seasonings and ranch mix. Stir together. Place cream cheese on top.
  • Cover with lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Use 2 forks to shred chicken. Stir cream cheese into chili. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Serve!

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Dicing the chicken, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic ahead of time will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
  • Use a good quality canned chili: This is the base of your soup, so make sure it's flavorful and has a good consistency. Look for a chili that has a nice balance of spices and heat.
  • Don't skimp on the cream cheese: This is what gives the soup its rich and creamy texture. Use a full 8-ounce package for the best results.
  • Add the cream cheese at the end: Stir it in just before serving to prevent it from curdling.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and additional chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for a bit of brightness.
  • Garnish with your favorites: Top the soup with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado before serving.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker cream cheese chicken chili is an easy and delicious meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. Serve it with a side of cornbread or crackers for a complete meal.
