  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth)
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sour cream
  • Tortilla chips or cornbread

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.

  2. 2

    Add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies over the chicken. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on top. Place the block of cream cheese on top of the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove the breasts from the crockpot. Use two forks to shred the chicken and return it to the crockpot. Stir everything together until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili becomes creamy.

    Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve with tortilla chips or warm cornbread for dipping.
