Step No.3: Add Cream Cheese
  1. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add it to the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir occasionally to help it melt into the chili.
Step No.4: Shred the Chicken

Notes

  • Thicker Chili: Reduce broth to ½ cup for a thicker consistency.
  • Lighter Version: Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lower-calorie option.
  • Extra Spice: Add diced jalapeños or extra chili powder for more heat.
  • Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chili: Add ¼ cup buffalo sauce and use ranch seasoning instead of cumin.
  • Low-Carb Version: Skip the corn and beans, replacing them with diced bell peppers and extra chicken.
  • Vegetarian Chili: Swap the chicken for extra beans and use vegetable broth.
  • Mexican-Inspired Chili: Add a squeeze of lime juice and top with crumbled queso fresco.
  • Cheesy Chicken Chili: Stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese before serving for extra richness.
  • Tex-Mex Chicken Chili: Add taco seasoning and serve with tortilla strips for a fun twist.
