Time 4h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 2 lb)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
20 cloves garlic that have been peeled and left whole
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
3 or 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with cooking spray.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to skillet, and sear chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown; arrange in single layer in bottom of slow cooker.
  • Add garlic to same skillet, and cook until just golden in a few spots; carefully add wine to skillet, and scrape up any browned bits from bottom. Heat to simmering; simmer 1 minute. Pour into slow cooker. Add broth to slow cooker, stirring gently to combine. Add thyme sprigs. Cover; cook on High heat setting 4 to 6 hours.
  • Twenty minutes before serving, with slow cooker still set to High, beat cornstarch and water with whisk to make a slurry; stir the slurry, Parmesan cheese and whipping cream into liquid in slow cooker (if necessary, remove chicken from slow cooker for this step, and add back once mixed).
  • Cover; cook 20 minutes longer to thicken. Serve with parsley and, if desired, additional Parmesan. Serve over pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.

This Slow Cooker Creamy Fiesta Chicken is flavorful and an easy dinner your whole family will love!

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Main Course

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion (finely diced)
15 ounces canned corn (drained, (1 can))
15 ounces canned black beans (rinsed and drained, (1 can))
1 cup salsa
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature, cut into pieces)
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
optional toppings ((salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, etc))

Steps:

  • Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • 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!
