Follow The Directions

01

Step

Nestle the chicken breasts in the base of your slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Generously blanket the chicken with corn, black beans, diced tomatoes (undrained), ranch dressing mix, chili powder, cumin, and onion powder. Gently stir to ensure even distribution of flavors. Crown the mixture with cubed cream cheese. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Secure the lid and set your slow cooker to Low. Allow the magic to happen for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside. The internal temperature should reach a safe 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (6-8 hours)

04

Step

Carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a separate bowl. Using two forks, lovingly shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, stirring it into the chili to marry the flavors. Serve hot, garnished as desired. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
This chili is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
