Southwestern Chicken Chili

Chunky soup? Creamy chili? Don't care what you call it, it's just wonderful. A hearty, homey "dump" recipe for the crockpot.

Ingredients:

4 cups chopped chicken (premade and cooked - use rotisserie for an easy fix)

1 can corn, drained

1 can black beans

2 cans diced tomatoes with green chilis, not drained

3 cups chicken broth

1 cup chopped, cooked bacon

1/2 small white onion, diced

1 packet ranch seasoning/salad dressing mx

1 teaspoon coriander

1 Tablespoon chili powder

1 Tablespoon dried cilantro

2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

1 package cream cheese (8 oz)

1 cup shredded cheddar


Preparation & Cooking:

This is going to blow your mind, folks - but just put it all in the crockpot and cover. It will be ready after 4-5 hours on high. Turn it to low until ready to serve. Stir a few times, once the cream cheese is melted. If you prefer it with more liquid, add a cup of more broth.


Serve:

Ladle into bowls and serve with toasted French bread and/or Fritos (either crushed on top or for dipping). Some may prefer a shot of hot sauce or more red pepper.


A Little Backstory:

You can always tell a good recipe because the first bite makes me do a little dance. A spoonful just to try it at the 3-hour mark made me skip a little jig in the kitchen.
