Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili

I made this last night and it was excellent.  I will definetely make it again - although it is HOT.  I wasn't going to add the full brick of cream cheese but I needed too otherwise it would have been too hot to eat.  I did it in the crockpot and made a few changes which I will note below.
