Description

Ingredients

• 2 (14 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes, drained
• 2 (7 or 8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 and 1/2 pounds)
• 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth (I use reduced sodium)
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
• 1 large green bell pepper, diced
• 1 (14 ounce) can corn (rinsed and drained) or 1 package of frozen corn
• 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 small jalapeño, minced (remove seeds and ribs)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons chili powder (reduce to 1 teaspoon for less spicy chili)
• 1 Tablespoon ground cumin (for that key chili taste!)
• 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
• 4 ounces brick-style light cream cheese (or full fat)
• 4 quart or larger slow cooker (here is the one I own-- I have it in white)

Directions

• Add all the ingredients except the cream cheese to a slow cooker. Give everything a stir as best you can to mix. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3 hours. Remove the chicken and chop into pieces or shred into pieces, then return chicken to the slow cooker and give everything a few stirs. Stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and combined. Taste and add more salt or add ground black pepper to taste. Cover the slow cooker and cook for about 10-15 more minutes. Serve warm topped with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, or crackers. And serve alongside my favorite cornbread! Keep leftovers in a large tupperware in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave.
