Instructions
Creating Cream Cheese Chicken Chili is a simple process. Follow these steps to make this amazing dish:
1. Prepare Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the chicken breasts. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot. Shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add the white beans, diced tomatoes, corn, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Add Cream Cheese: Cut the softened cream cheese into cubes and add it to the pot. Stir until the cream cheese melts and incorporates into the chili, creating a creamy consistency.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary. Feel free to add more spice or salt to suit your preference.
8. Serve: Once ready, remove from heat and ladle the chili into bowls.
