A delightful and hearty chicken chili recipe that's perfect for a cozy dinner.
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly spread out for even cooking.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken.
You can adjust the amount of seasoning based on your taste preference.
Pour the black beans, great northern beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth over the chicken.
Do not stir to keep the layers intact for better flavor blending.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Cooking on low allows the flavors to meld together more thoroughly.
About an hour before serving, add the cream cheese in small chunks and stir occasionally to melt.
Cutting the cream cheese into smaller pieces helps it melt faster and more evenly.
Before serving, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it back into the chili.
Shredding the chicken directly in the crockpot saves time and keeps the dish warm.
Serve the chili hot, optionally garnished with sour cream or shredded cheese.
Adding fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime can brighten up the flavors.
