Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Shredded boneless skinless chicken breasts Cooked rotisserie chicken also works as a time-saving alternative.
  • 1 cup Sweet corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 can Black beans (drained and rinsed) Swap with pinto beans or kidney beans based on your preference.
  • 1 can Diced tomatoes with green chilies For an extra kick.
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version without compromising creaminess.
  • 4 cups Chicken broth For added depth.
  • 1 medium Onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic elevates the recipe.
Seasonings
  • 2 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a crockpot, combine the shredded chicken, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, onion, and garlic, making sure to mix them well.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth along with the savory seasonings, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Set your crockpot to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. This slow simmering will meld all the wonderful tastes together beautifully.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cream cheese until it melts and integrates, creating a rich, luscious texture.
  3. Serve hot, garnished with toppings of your choice, like chopped cilantro, avocado slices, or shredded cheese for an extra touch.
