Notes
- Chicken Options: Use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked shredded chicken for convenience.
- Cream Cheese Tip: Cut cream cheese into small cubes and let it soften at room temperature for easier melting.
- Green Chile: Adjust the spice level by using mild or hot roasted green chiles. Hatch or canned chiles work well.
- Thicker Chili: Mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot for a thicker consistency.
- Topping Ideas: Try shredded cheese, tortilla strips, sour cream, avocado, lime, or cilantro for extra flavor.
