A hearty and comforting chili recipe packed with lean protein, fiber-rich beans, and the sweetness of corn, perfect for chilly autumn evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained if canned)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with chilies)
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain the black beans, shred the pepper jack cheese, and soften the cream cheese.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. Add the corn, black beans, and Rotel tomatoes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle on the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F/74°C), use tongs or forks to shred it right in the crockpot.
  7. Stir in the softened cream cheese and shredded pepper jack until melted and creamy. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  8. Serve hot and garnish with your favorite toppings like cilantro, sour cream, or tortilla chips.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the cream cheese for a silky, creamy texture.’, ‘Shred your pepper jack cheese instead of using pre-shredded for better melting.’, ‘Adjust spice levels by swapping pepper jack for Monterey jack cheese if sensitive to heat.’, ‘Cooking on low heat allows the flavors to meld beautifully.’, ‘Make a double batch and freeze half for later.’]
