Latin-Inspired Spicy Cream Chicken Stew image

My old roommate, who was Latino, gave me this recipe about 8 years ago. Recently I was cleaning out a cookbook and found the recipe tucked away. This is extremely delicious. I don't know what it was called, she just said it was something her mom used to make when she was younger. Depending on how spicy you like it, you omit or ramp up any variety of hot spices you like. This is great served over rice with shredded cheese and sour cream -- or even with corn bread. It is really versatile.

Time 8h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) jar green salsa
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons ground red chile pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup cream cheese, softened

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a slow cooker, and pour tomatoes, green salsa, black beans, pinto beans, and corn over the chicken. Sprinkle taco seasoning, cilantro, ground red chile, and cumin over the mixture, and stir to combine. Cover the cooker, set on Low, and cook until chicken is very tender and the mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 hours.
  • For soup, leave all liquid in the cooker; for a thicker stew, remove some liquid if desired. Mix 1 or 2 tablespoons of liquid with cream cheese in a bowl, stir until smooth, and mix the cream cheese into the cooker to make a creamy sauce. Continue to cook for 15 minutes, then serve.

This stew was easy to make and very flavorful. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. I served it with rice and a side of avocado and it was a delicious meal.
