Mexican Crockpot Creamy Chicken
Ingredients:
1lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (I put mine in frozen)
1/2 cup of salsa
1 bag frozen sweet corn
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of Rotel Tomatoes with Green Chilies
Chili Powder
S&P
1/2 block of cream cheese (I use 1/3 fat free)
1 small onion diced
Directions:
Put chicken in crock pot and cover with all ingredients except for cream cheese.
Add in chili powder and S & P to taste. I sprinkle it all on the top and add more later if needed.
Cook for 3-4 hours on high, 7-8 hours on low.
Shred the chicken and mix it all in along with the cream cheese until melted. Let cook for another 15-20 minutes until heated through.
Serve over rice or in tortillas as tacos/burritos.
I usually top it with some shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
Makes 6 Servings.

Made this last night and tried a bite this morning before heading out. Very tasty! Can't wait for my girlfriend to try when she gets in for dinner!0

I did something very similar last night in the crockpot, except that I didn't include the cream cheese. The chicken is very good shredded, and today for lunch I layered it with some of the stewed beans/chilies, some refried beans, some strained yogurt, and some salsa, scooped up with tortilla chips. It was a bit calorific (I estimated the total at about 600 calories), but was extremely filling and nutritious. Since I cooked the refried beans myself (dried pintos in the crockpot, mashed with some plain yogurt), it didn't contain much fat.0

OMG - I made this tonight and it is freaking amazing! I had some leftover cornbread, so I broke up a piece and served this on top of it. I also used drained and rinsed canned corn instead of frozen. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!0

I don't see why not! I bet kidney beans, chili beans, or pinto beans would be awesome!0 -

I think this would be perfect over shredded lettuce with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top and a slice of avocado. Saves you some carbs and calories, too! Will be perfect for lunch leftovers.0
