Crock Pot Fiesta Chicken Recipe

Looking for a new family favorite? This Crock Pot Fiesta Chicken recipe is super simple to make, and oh-so delicious! Enjoy!

Many people love the ease of Crock-Pot recipes, since a variety of ingredients can be thrown in, can cook during work or while going about the day and can be enjoyed by the whole family at the end of the day. And since cooler weather is finally starting to think about gracing us with its presence, it is time to share the perfect recipe for dinner on a crisp weekend or a cool evening: Crock-Pot Fiesta Chicken!

This is one of the easiest dishes to prepare, as it literally just involves opening up a few cans and a couple of packages, putting everything in a Crock-Pot for four hours and then eating. The leftovers are great, too, and there is some versatility with the recipe, as certain things can be swapped out, added to or replaced. The Mexican-style ingredients combine for a zesty and hearty dish, and the cream cheese adds a smoothness to it all that will have everyone asking for second helpings!

To make Crock-Pot Fiesta Chicken, you will need to gather up one can of corn, one can of black beans, one can of Ro-tel diced tomatoes & green chilies, one package of cream cheese, one package of Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch Dips Mix and some sort of meat, such as a bag of fajita chicken breasts that are already cooked, sliced and seasoned.

Feel free to substitute corn for hominy, black beans for pinto beans or mild Ro-tel for hot, and feel free to choose a different meat, such as beef or a vegetarian option. Also, this meal can be eaten by dipping chips into a bowl of it, by pouring a serving over rice or by filling up tortillas with it for a yummy taco-style treat.
