Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Ensure chicken is thawed for optimal cooking.
  • ½ cup chicken broth Can substitute with homemade broth or bouillon.

For the Seasoning

  • 1 packet dry ranch dressing Can be replaced with taco seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Sauce

  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies Can substitute with regular diced tomatoes.
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn Make sure it’s drained before adding.
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans Drain and rinse to reduce sodium.
  • 1 block (8 oz) plain cream cheese Consider using reduced-fat for a lighter option.

Instructions

How to Make Fiesta Chicken

  • Place thawed boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the Crock Pot.
  • Add the drained black beans, drained corn, Rotel tomatoes, onion powder, ranch seasoning, and black pepper. Mix them gently with the chicken.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, then pour chicken broth across the ingredients. Crown your mix with the block of cream cheese.
  • Cover the Crock Pot and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the Crock Pot, stirring until the melted cream cheese coats the mixture.

Notes

Optional: Serve it in tortillas or over rice for a delicious twist.
