Instructions

  • Prepare the Slow Cooker:
    Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add the Ingredients:
    Add the diced onion, frozen corn, red beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, ranch dressing, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  • Cook:
    Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours.
  • Shred the Chicken:
    Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks.
  • Add Cream Cheese:
    Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add it to the slow cooker. Stir to incorporate the cream cheese.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add more chili powder or some diced jalapeños.

  • Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and it freezes well for later use.
