Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 10 oz Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 15 oz Canned corn (drained)
- 15 oz Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 8 oz Cream cheese (cubed)
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including juices), drained corn, and black beans on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, ground cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Pour in the chicken broth to ensure there is enough liquid for cooking.
Distribute the cubed cream cheese evenly on top of the mixture.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours, or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Stir everything together, ensuring the cream cheese fully melts and blends into the chili.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add salt, pepper, or more chili powder if preferred).
Serve hot in bowls and optionally garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
