Tips Tricks and FAQs
- When it comes to your Ranch seasoning you can use homemade Ranch Seasoning or the packaged one from the store.
- If you want to spice it up a bit you can add a can of diced green chiles (drained) or cayenne pepper to the recipe.
- You can easily use a rotisserie chicken to speed up how long this chili takes to cook.
- While I prefer white chicken breasts in this dish you can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs.

Storage
You will want to store your leftover chili in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Can You Freeze Crack Chicken Chili?
Freezing Crack Chicken Chili is not recommended because of the cream cheese as well as the shredded cheese. When you freeze cheese that has been cooked the texture changes as it usually starts to separate as it is frozen and thawed.
If you want to make this a freezer meal just omit to add the cheeses when you make it. Freeze in a freezer-safe bag and then add the cheeses in when you thaw and reheat your chili.

Can I Make Crack Chicken Chili on the Stove?
You can make this dish on the stove! You will first want to cook the chicken or use a shredded chicken then you will add all the other ingredients and let your chili come to a rolling boil. Once it is boiling, turn down the pot to low-medium heat and cook for about 20 more minutes.
Can I Use Reduced Fat Cream Cheese?
Yes, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese, but it won’t be as thick or as creamy. Other than that the texture and the flavor will stay the same.
