Additional recipe notes
Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can reheat in the microwave or on the stove top. The easiest way to shred the chicken is with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer when it’s hot. It’s so quick and easy. This cream cheese chili is so good as is, but that doesn’t mean you can’t doctor it up a little more with some added flavor and textures. Some of our favorite toppings include the following: tortilla strips, sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, cilantro, or diced onions.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
These are general safety limits, not a tested storage or freezing recommendation for this particular dish. USDA leftovers guidance · Safe cooking temperatures
