  • Cook on high temperature for 4 hours, or 7 hours on low temperature.

  • Stir the cream cheese in until the it is melted and evenly distributed. Return the chicken to the crock pot. and stir till fully mixed.
  • Stir in some of the shredded cheese if desired, or sprinkle on top of each bowl.

Notes

  • In place of the chicken thighs, you can use ground chicken, turkey or even ground beef if you prefer.
  • We like the butter beans in this chili, but you can use black beans or great northern or cannellini beans; whatever you prefer.
  • You can add a small can of chopped green chilis or jalapenos if you like that flavor also.
