• chicken breasts

Cut the cream cheese into five sections and place on top of everything. Then cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Chicken Chili with Cream Cheese

White chicken chili with cream cheese is on the thicker side so you can either use it as chili with a toppings bar or serve it as a dip for a party.

When I serve chili at parties, I like to make both a traditional red chili and this white chicken chili. That way people have two different options depending on their tastes. I always find people have never had a white chili until they try mine.

They also want the recipe when they leave and it is soon to become a family favorite at their house too.
