Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Salsa (medium or mild, to taste)
- 1 cup Corn (canned, drained or frozen)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked rice or tortillas (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
Add the drained and rinsed black beans, salsa, and corn on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle the cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them on top of the other ingredients in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
After the cooking time has ended, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Mix the shredded chicken thoroughly with the sauce.
Stir well until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to your preference.
Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked rice, with tortillas, or as desired.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and presentation, if desired.
