Step 1: Layer the Ingredients
In your slow cooker, layer the chicken breasts on the bottom. Top with corn, black beans, Rotel, ranch mix, spices, and chicken broth.
Place the cream cheese cubes on top — no need to stir yet!
Step 2: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
As it cooks, the cream cheese will melt, and the chicken will become tender enough to shred easily.
Step 3: Shred and Stir
Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir everything together until creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
Ladle into bowls and top with cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions. Serve hot with tortilla chips or a slice of warm bread for dipping.
🌶️ Tips for the Best Crack Chicken Chili
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Add spice with jalapeños or extra chili powder if you like it hot.
Make it lighter: Swap cream cheese for Neufchâtel and use Greek yogurt to stir in at the end.
Shred the chicken while warm: It’s easier and blends better with the sauce.
Freeze leftovers: This chili freezes beautifully — just reheat slowly and add a splash of broth to loosen it up.
