Crock pot cream cheese chicken chili recipe
Description
The recipe starts by combining boneless chicken breasts, black beans (drained and rinsed), great northern beans with liquid, diced tomatoes with green chilis, salsa verde, ranch seasoning, chopped onion, cumin, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth in a crock pot. It cooks on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender.
Afterward, the chicken is removed and shredded before being returned to the pot along with cream cheese, which is melted into the chili during an additional 15 to 30 minutes of cooking. Chopped cilantro is added for freshness before serving.
This chili has a creamy texture from the cream cheese and combines savory, spicy, and tangy notes from the tomatoes, salsa verde, and seasonings. It can be served with toppings like additional cilantro, cheese, or sour cream depending on preference.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it convenient for meal planning or reheating later.
