Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10 oz) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (optional)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained) over the chicken.
Add the rinsed and drained black beans, frozen corn, and chicken broth to the crockpot.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt evenly over the ingredients.
Give everything a gentle stir to combine the seasonings, but ensure the chicken remains at the bottom.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken to mix it well with the sauce and ingredients.
If desired, stir in freshly chopped cilantro and a splash of lime juice for added brightness.
Serve the Crockpot Mexican Chicken hot with tortillas, over rice, or in a salad. Enjoy!
