Equipment

  • Crockpot

Ingredients

For the Base

  • 3-4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Use frozen if desired.
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth Homemade is preferred.

For the Creamy Mix

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Full-fat is richer.
  • 1 can Black Beans Drain and rinse.
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes Fire-roasted for better flavor.

For Added Flavor

  • 1 cup Bell Peppers Any variety.
  • 1 medium Onion Pre-sauté for best flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder Adjust to taste.
  • 1 tsp Cumin A pinch balances the flavors.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be used for more kick.

Serving Suggestions

  • 1 bag Tortilla Chips Great to accompany the chili.
  • 1 loaf Cornbread Enhances the meal experience.

Instructions

How to Make

  • Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot, creating the perfect base for this creamy delight.
  • Layer the chopped onions and vibrant bell peppers on top of the chicken, adding color and flavor to the dish.
  • Gently stir in the rinsed black beans and undrained diced tomatoes to introduce comforting textures and a complementary sweetness.
  • Sprinkle in chili powder and cumin for warmth and flavor, then pour in the chicken broth to bind everything together.
  • Top it all off by placing blocks of cream cheese right on top; this is what makes it irresistibly creamy!
  • Cover your crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should shred easily and blend beautifully with the spices. Stir before serving to marry the flavors.

Notes

For garnishing, consider using shredded cheese or fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for easier blending.
