- Top with onion, corn, black beans, salsa, lime juice, taco seasoning, and dry ranch dressing mix. Add the cream cheese on top.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 6-7 hours on low heat (or high heat for 3-4 hours, but I prefer the "low and slow" method).
- Shred the chicken using 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily; you can do this right in the slow cooker or remove the chicken and shred it on a cutting board if that is easier).
- Stir the shredded chicken and the shredded pepper jack cheese in with all the ingredients until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Use this chicken for tacos, burritos, nachos, salads, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. The possibilities are endless!

Tips:
- Prep before cooking: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
- Use fresh ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and quality.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: When adding ingredients to the slow cooker, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will help the food cook evenly.
- Cook on low and slow: Slow cookers are designed to cook food on low heat for a long period of time. This helps to tenderize the meat and develop the flavors.
- Don't open the lid during cooking: Opening the lid during cooking lets heat escape, which can slow down the cooking process and make the food less tender.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

The Chicken Fiesta in Crock-Pot is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights.
