Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, sour cream, sliced jalapeños

    • Instructions

  • Start by placing your chopped onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Layer the bite-sized chicken pieces evenly over the onions and garlic.
  • Add the drained black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes with their juice, and diced green chilies on top.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over everything.
  • Give everything a gentle stir to combine layers but don’t mix too aggressively—you want that layering effect for better texture.
  • Scatter the cubed cream cheese evenly over the top of the chili. This will melt down slowly and create a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, give your chili a good stir to break up the cream cheese and mix it fully through the chili, creating a luscious texture.
  • Check the seasoning at this point and adjust salt or spice as needed.
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, or jalapeños for extra heat.
