Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like mild Rotel)
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- ½ small onion, chopped
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot.
- Add corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, onion, broth, and all spices.
- Place the cream cheese block on top (do not stir).
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and stir the soup until creamy and fully mixed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- No browning required: the chicken cooks from raw in the slow cooker and will become tender and shreddable.
- If the chili is too thick, add a splash more broth; if too thin, cook a bit longer with the lid off to reduce.
- For a lighter version, use part-skim cream cheese or reduce the amount of toppings.
- Stirring: Do not stir in the cream cheese at the start; place it on top and stir in at the end for a creamy texture.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days; freeze for longer storage.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 6–8 hours (low) or 3–4 hours (high)
