CROCK POT SANTA FE CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Crock Pot Santa Fe Cream Cheese Chicken Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-8655

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) bag frozen chicken breast tenderloins
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (not fat-free! 1/3 less fat or regular is fine)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained & rinsed (or pinto beans if you prefer)
1 (8-ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes, or regular salsa

Steps:

  • Put frozen chicken in the crock pot. Add cream cheese on top of the chicken. Drain and rinse the beans, add to the crock pot. Add the drained corn and Rotel tomatoes. Cover and cook in your slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours. Stir the ingredients every two hours. You can shred the chicken when it is done, or just leave it as tenderloins. Turn the slow cooker off and let your chicken sit for about 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Letting it sit will thicken it a bit, but it is soupy. Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful salsa: The salsa is a key ingredient in this dish, so choose one packed with flavor. A medium or hot salsa will give the chicken a nice kick, while a milder salsa will be more family-friendly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them just until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them stay tender and juicy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This dish is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings to add even more flavor. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

This Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy. It's packed with flavor from the salsa, chili powder, and cumin, and the chicken is cooked to perfection in the slow cooker. Serve it with your favorite toppings, and you've got a meal that everyone will love.
