Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can use frozen chicken, but extend cooking time by an hour.
  • 1 packets dry ranch dressing packet Can substitute with taco seasoning for different flavor.
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (10 oz, do not drain)
  • 1 can whole kernel corn (15 oz, drained)
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 block plain cream cheese (8 oz) Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

  3. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the top for that zesty kick.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture and place the cream cheese on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and choose to cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
