Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ - 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 cup chicken broth, plus an extra 1-2 cups to thin the chili at the end
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, not drained
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet dry Ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature and cubed
  • Optional for serving: chips or cornbread; sliced green onions; sour cream; cilantro; grated cheese

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients (except for the cream cheese) in a large slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

  • Add the cream cheese to the slow cooker, stir, cover, and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cream cheese melts and incorporates into the broth. At this point, stir in additional broth, as necessary, to thin the chili and reach your desired consistency.

Notes

  • All slow cooker vary in temperature, so adjust cook times accordingly. Mine finishes in about 2-3 hours on HIGH or 6-8 hours on LOW.
  • Start with 1 cup of broth and add more at the end if you like a thinner chili. I typically use about 2 cups total.
  • Soften and cube the cream cheese before adding it to ensure a smooth texture.
  • For extra heat, stir in cayenne or top with jalapenos.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk or cashew cream instead of cream cheese. The flavor will obviously be quite different, though.
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze (without cream cheese) up to 3 months.
  • Serving Idea: Spoon over baked potatoes or pair with cornbread for a full meal.
