Instructions

  • Cut off any excess fat on your boneless skinless chicken breasts, and add into the crockpot first. 
  • Add all other ingredients to your slow cooker, EXCEPT for cream cheese and half and half.
  • Cook on low in your slow cooker for 8 hours, or high for 4 hours.
  • Once the chicken has cooked all the way through and is the chicken is tender, remove the chicken from the crockpot onto a plate. Use 2 forks to shred the chicken.
  • Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker, add in the softened cream cheese and half and half. Turn slow cooker on high for about 15-20 minutes until your chili has thickened and the cream cheese has melted all throughout the chili to give it that delicious creamy texture. 
    Note: Make sure you have left your cream cheese out ahead of time to soften, or place in microwave to soften. If you add into the crockpot right out of the refrigerator, its fine, but it may take longer than 15-20 minutes to mix all the way into your chili.
  • Serve the creamy chili in bowls and add your favorite toppings, ENJOY!!
