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.
