Notes

Chicken : I use 3 chicken breasts (grocery store size) and it comes out to about 1.5 pounds. The chicken does not have an exact amount or weighted measurement. Use 2-3 chicken breast depending on the size of them. If they are larger, just use two of them.

Cream Cheese : For best taste and texture, I recommend using full-fat cream cheese.

Make It Spicy! : Add more chili powder, add cayenne red pepper, add a can of diced green chilies or sliced jalapeños, use a can of Rotel instead of plain tomatoes, etc.

Nutrition Information : This is for a total of 8 servings, with each serving being about 1.25 cups of chicken chili. It does not include any toppings.
