Crockpot Rotel Chicken

I have a passion for cooking. You all know this. But cooking for one + way-past-full-time grad school + budget = hard to find good recipes! I saw this on Pinterest and thought it met my new dinner criteria.


It's definitely easy...just throw it in the crockpot and leave for the day. Just make sure to season it well with salt and pepper. 


Ingredients
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz. cream cheese
1 can black beans
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can Rotel tomatoes with chiles
Salt and black pepper
Rice (I like the frozen brown rice you can find in the freezer section at the grocery store)


Directions
1. Drain the beans and corn.
2. Add to the crockpot, along with chicken, cream cheese and Rotel.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
4. Turn off the heat and shred the chicken slightly with a fork. Cover and let sit for 30-45 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the rice.
6. Pour the chicken mixture over the rice and season generously with salt and black pepper.

  1. Next time switch out the corn for hominy - I would use yellow for the color in this recipe!
