Ok…so I admit, this one is NOT mine! I borrowed it from a new friend with whom I recently found out loves to cook! Thank you Melissa for this great, quick and easy recipe. I hope you all can try it out…it will be one of your favorites!
The crockpot can be a busy mom’s best friend but sometimes you get that crock pot taste from the food you make. This recipe defies any thoughts you had about crock pot=tasteless. It is so delicious!
4-5 chicken breasts
1 jar favorite salsa
1 can black beans
1 can corn ( I used a cup of frozen corn and it worked out just fine!)
1 brick of 1/3 less fat cream cheese
Prepared brown rice
Put chicken breasts in crock pot and cover with beans and corn. Pour salsa over the top. Cook for 6 hours. During last 1/2 hour of cooking time, add brick of cream cheese. Stir and serve over brown rice.
KIDS CAN HELP! Once you put the chicken in, kids will have fun dumping the remaining ingredients in. Have them cover the pot and let them press the button to start the crock pot.
VEGETARIANS OUT THERE! Take out the chicken..add an extra can of beans. Mix it up–do kidney beans with the black beans. Cook on low for about two hours and serve! 🙂
NEVER ENOUGH TIME! This is a time saving meal so you can throw it all together in the morning and have piping hot dinner ready for you with barely any work. Also, instead of making brown rice on the stove, buy the Uncle Ben’s 90 second microwave brown rice packages. You can get those ready while the crock pot is finishing up and you are done!
OTHER FUN ADD INS! We added avocado to the top of our dish and it was delicious. Pair it with some whole grain baked tortilla chips for a Mexican Feast!
Thanks Melissa! It was delicious! 🙂
