You MUST try this delicious Cream Cheese Chicken Chili Recipe!!!

Creamy White Chicken Chili 2

I LOVE making this one in my digital pressure cooker!

From frozen, my dinner is ready in about 45 minutes or less!!  More on that below!

Not only is it amazingly easy and simple to make… it’s incredibly delicious!!!  My friend Renee shared this recipe on her blog and I made it one night (I had everything in my stockpile!) and my kids AND my hubs loved it!  I’m highly considering making it for our traditional Christmas Eve Dinner (we have bread bowls and soup!).

Cream Cheese Chicken Chili

  • 2 chicken breast, (still frozen works)
  • 1 (10 oz.) can Rotel tomatoes (I like the mild stuff for my wimpy taste buds)
  • 1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, do not drain
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 package Ranch dressing mix or (3 Tablespoons)
  • 1 Tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 onion, chopped or (1/3 cup dried minced onion)
  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, cubed
Put the chicken in the crockpot or instant pot.  Top with undrained tomatoes, corn, and rinsed black beans.  Add ranch dressing, cumin, onion, and chili powder.  Stir to combine.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours in slow cooker, stirring once or twice to blend in the cheese.

Instant Pot Instructions:

If you’re like me and don’t do well planning ahead, you can throw this in your instant pot, even if the chicken is frozen! I do like to add about 1 cup of chicken broth when cooking in my instant pot.
Cook for 40 minutes, if frozen, or 20 if chicken is thawed.
At the end of cooking, stir in cubed cream cheese and mix until melted. Remove the chicken and chop to bite size pieces.  Serves 4-6.
