Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 15 ounces black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 piece yellow onion (diced)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot.
Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies over the chicken, including the liquid.
Add the black beans, frozen corn, and diced onion to the crock pot.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the ingredients.
Pour the chicken broth over everything to ensure the chicken stays moist while cooking.
Set the crock pot to cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, depending on your schedule.
After cooking, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir well to combine with the other ingredients.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve the Mexican chicken hot as a filling for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas, or enjoy it over rice. Garnish with shredded Mexican cheese blend, if desired.
