- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Pour the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and green chilies over the chicken.
- Whisk together the chicken broth, buffalo sauce, and ranch or blue cheese dressing in a separate bowl. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the chili powder and cumin over everything. Add salt and pepper.
- Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
- Add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy.
- Stir well before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier chili, increase the amount of buffalo sauce or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Serve with toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
- If you do not have a slow cooker, you can cook this on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
