  • 8 ounces cream cheese

  3. Pour in canned black beans, corn, and Rotel tomatoes with their juices.

  5. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  6. When done, remove chicken breasts and shred them with two forks.
  7. Stir the chili to mix the melted cream cheese thoroughly.

Notes

  • If you prefer, add the cream cheese at the end when softened and blend for a smoother texture. You may also substitute cream cheese with heavy cream or half and half added near the end for creaminess. To thin the chili, add chicken broth or water before serving. Reheat servings with a bit of water in the microwave, stirring halfway through for best results.
