Juicy, tender chicken simmered in a creamy, flavorful sauce with vibrant spices, sweet corn, and zesty tomatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (full-fat)
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. If using frozen chicken, adjust the cooking time slightly.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, and black beans on top of the chicken. Spread them out evenly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, taco seasoning, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and shred easily with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it back into the creamy sauce.
  7. Optional: Add a handful of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh, zesty finish.
  8. Serve over rice, pasta, in tacos, or with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

[‘Use block cream cheese for the best texture.’, ‘Customize spice level by adjusting taco seasoning or using plain diced tomatoes.’, ‘Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot to absorb the sauce.’, ‘Double the recipe for meal prep or freezing.’]
