Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (or use leftover chicken)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup frozen corn

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken, rinsed beans, diced green chilies, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cream of chicken soup, cream cheese cubes, ranch seasoning mix, cumin, garlic powder, and pepper into the basin of a slow cooker.
  2. Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients.
  3. Stir everything together until the cream cheese begins to break down slightly.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir well to fully melt and incorporate the cream cheese until the chili is creamy. If using, stir in the frozen corn.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For a stovetop option, combine all ingredients (except frozen corn) in a large pot. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cream cheese is melted and the chili is hot throughout. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • To make this a ‘Crack Chicken Chili’ variation, add 1 tablespoon of dried minced onion along with the ranch seasoning.
  • For a thicker chili, remove about 1 cup of the chili mixture near the end, mash the beans slightly, and stir it back into the pot.
