Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Beans

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
  • 1 can corn, undrained (15 oz)
  • 10 ounces can Rotel tomatoes with green chilis, undrained

Seasonings

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup water

Dairy

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, block

Toppings (optional)

  • Shredded cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Avocados, diced
  • Fresh tomatoes, diced
  • Fritos or tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the bottom of the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
  2. Add the Chicken: Place the two large chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot, providing a base for your chili.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the drained and rinsed black beans, undrained corn, undrained Rotel tomatoes with green chilis, ranch seasoning, ground cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and ½ cup of water into the crockpot. Mix everything gently to combine the flavors.
  4. Add Cream Cheese: Place the block of cream cheese on top of the mixture in the crockpot without mixing it in. This will allow it to melt slowly into the chili as it cooks.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for about 4 hours. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked.
  6. Shred Chicken and Serve: Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks, then stir back into the chili. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocados, fresh tomatoes, and Fritos or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add extra chili powder or a diced jalapeño.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Make sure to shred the chicken well so it mixes evenly throughout the chili.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Use gluten-free tortilla chips to keep the chili gluten-free.
