- Add the cream cheese and cream to the bowl, and stir everything together until evenly combined.8 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- Leave the slow cooker uncovered and just let it sit for 10-15 minutes, undisturbed, so the chili can thicken some.

Notes
- Shredded cheddar, sour cream, sliced green onions, crumbled bacon and crushed tortilla chips all make for yummy toppings.
- Don't worry if it doesn't feel like you've added enough liquid in the beginning. The ingredients, especially the chicken, will release some liquid as they cook.
- Want it less or more spicy? Adjust the amount of pepperoncini to suit your taste. Also check to see if you're using mild or medium/hot pepperoncini, as that will definitely play a huge part in the overall spiciness of the finished chili.
