Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their liquid), black beans, and frozen corn on top of the chicken.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot.
Cube the cream cheese and add it to the crock pot. Stir it in and allow it to melt and blend with the other ingredients, roughly 10-15 minutes.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until fully melted and incorporated.
Serve hot over rice, in tacos, or with tortilla chips. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
