With school starting back up, a quick and easy crock pot meal is a must! :-)
This has been called "The Easiest Dinner Ever" as well as "Cream Cheese Crock Pot Chicken" . . .
in other words, the prep work is less than a minute and the results are amazing!
My kind of meal!
I hope you have had a lovely Sunday!
Cream Cheese Crock Pot ChickenServes 6-8
Bag of frozen Chicken Breast Tenderloins (2.5-3lb bag)
8 oz block of cream cheese (don't use Fat Free! 1/3 less fat or regular is fine)
Can of Black Beans, drained & rinsed. (or Pinto Beans if you prefer)
Can of Corn, drained.
Can of Rotel
Directions:
Put frozen chicken in the crock pot. Put Cream cheese on top of the chicken. Dump in the Black Beans (make sure they are drained & rinsed!!!) Dump in the drained corn. Dump in the Rotel, Cover & cook in your Crock Pot on low for 6-8 hours. Every 2 hours, stir the ingredients. You can shred the chicken when it is done, or just leave it as tenderloins. Turn the crock pot off & let it sit for about 30-45 minutes so that the chicken soaks up the cream cheese. Can be served over rice, in a burrito, or an a tortilla with lettuce, cheese, and salsa.

I LOVE this! It's definitely all about quick during the work week :) Need to dig out my crock pot out of the basement asap!
ReplyDeleteLooks incredible! I'm a 30+ woman who just began cooking...don't judge! :D Why can't you use fat free cream cheese?
ReplyDeleteKara, I just started cooking a couple of years ago! :-) No judgement here! I think that the fat free won't be as creamy as reg or 1/3 fat free. . . you could always try it out though! :-)
DeleteI know for some recipes when you cook a fat free cream cheese the oil seperates and there is a lyaer of oil over everything :/ ... Maybe that is the same here :)
DeleteHmm. . . maybe so Nichole! :-) Can you tell I still don't really know what I'm doing yet?? HA! :-) Thanks for the info! I'm going to remember that for future recipes with cream cheese! :-)
DeleteYummy this looks soo good!
