1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened and cubed

Directions

1 Place chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add chili beans, black beans, tomatoes and green chiles, enchilada sauce, chicken broth, corn, chili powder, seasoning salt, paprika, cumin, and pepper.
2 Cover and cook until chicken can easily be shredded with a fork, on Low for 5 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 5 hours.
3 Cube the cream cheese (needs to be soft) and place in the slow cooker. Let sit for a few minutes and then whisk to break up any chunks. Cook on High until cream cheese melts. Enjoy!
