    How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Queso Chili  

    For the full recipe, please see the recipe card below. 

    Place the chicken breasts, salsa, water, cumin, chili powder, and salt in the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. When the chicken is done, shred the meat directly in the crockpot using two forks.

    After the chicken has been shredded, add the roasted corn and jalapeño, black beans, and cream cheese to the crockpot. Stir and replace cover, allowing the cream cheese to melt. Adjust the consistency of the soup by adding another ½ cup of water if needed. Let the soup simmer for another 15-30 minutes until everything is smooth and melted. Just before serving, stir in the Pepper Jack cheese.

    Serving size: 1 cup

    Ingredients for Slow Cooker Chicken Queso Chili 

    If you wish to use full-fat cheese instead of reduced fat you can. The points below are calculated using reduced fat cheeses.

    • Chicken - Boneless skinless, chicken breasts (Rotisserie Chicken and can be subbed) 
    • Salsa  - Fat-free salsa, a prepared salsa like Pace or Tostitos
    • Water  -  for consistency 
    • Spices - Cumin, Chili Powder, Salt

      This recipe is delicious, please do not skimp on the salsa. They recommend Frontera roasted tomato salsa and tomatillo salsa. Changing those two ingredients really does make a difference in the taste of the soup. It is a little spicy, and you can tone that down by using a creamy, non-spicy cheese rather than the pepper jack. My husband would like this once a week!
