Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 can white beans
  • 1 can corn, undrained
  • 1 can Rotel, undrained
  • 1 package ranch dressing mix
  • 1 tspcumin
  • 1 Tbspchili powder
  • 1 tsponion powder
  • 1 8 ozpackage light cream cheese
  • 2 chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. Place chicken at bottom of crock pot, then pour whole can of corn, rotel, black beans and white beans on top.
  2. Cover with seasonings and ranch mix.
  3. Stir together.
  4. Place cream cheese on top.

  6. Stir cream cheese into chili.
  7. Use 2 forks to shred chicken.
  8. Stir together and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts – they stay more tender and have more flavor during long cooking times. Cut the cream cheese into cubes before adding it to the pot for faster and more even melting. For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans with a fork before adding them to the crock pot. If you prefer a spicier chili, add a diced jalapeño or use hot Rotel instead of the original version. A splash of lime juice added just before serving brightens all the flavors and cuts through the richness of the cream cheese.
