Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken (fresh, leftover, or rotisserie)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions
- In a large pot or Crock Pot, combine the cooked chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and season everything with salt and pepper.
