2 tsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base
1 (15.5 oz) can seasoned chili beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
½ cup bacon crumbles
1 packet or 3 Tbsp dry ranch dressing mix
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Cornstarch
Assembly Instructions:
Label a zipper freezer bag with the title Crack Chicken Chili. Add the chicken, Better than Bouillon, chili beans (undrained), corn, diced tomatoes (undrained), green chiles, bacon crumbles, ranch dressing mix, cumin, chili powder, onion powder into the bag. Seal the bag securely. Freeze the bag in a shape that will fit into your Instant Pot.
Instructions for day of cooking/serving:
Add 1 ½ cups water to the bottom of your Instant Pot. Dump in contents of bag. Dump one brick of cream cheese on top. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the SOUP button (if you don’t have a soup button use the manual/pressure cook button) to 10 minutes (if bag is thawed) or 15 minutes (if bag is frozen). When the time is up let the pot sit for 5-10 more minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. Use tongs to remove the chicken and place it on a cutting board. Shred up the chicken well and add it back into the pot. Stir the chili so that the cream cheese incorporates. Stir in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese. To thicken use a cornstarch slurry. Take 2-3 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2-3 Tbsp of cold water and stir together in a small bowl until smooth. Then turn the Instant Pot to the saute setting. Stir the slurry into the Instant Pot and the chili will thicken quickly. Once chili is thick turn off the Instant Pot. Ladle chili into bowls and serve.
