Fiesta Chicken

I made this for dinner last week and we really enjoyed it. It smelled so good cooking all day in the crockpot! It's super easy to make and you could keep most of what you need in your food storage, chicken in the freezer and cream cheese in the fridge (that's the one ingredient that might not be readily available...) You can find the Fiesta Ranch mix in with the dry salad dressings. Left overs work really well for lunch the next day too and that always makes me happy!



Fiesta Chicken 

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet Fiesta Ranch dip 
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 
1 can Rotel tomatoes, not drained 
1 can corn, not drained 
8 oz reduced fat cream cheese 
Cooked rice

If desired:
Tortilla or Frito chips 
Avocado, chopped
Sour cream 

Place chicken in a crockpot, top with Fiesta Ranch dip, beans, Rotel and corn.  Cook on low 6-8 hours.  Soften cream cheese.  Pull chicken out and shred.  Add cream cheese to crock pot while you shred the chicken then return chicken to crockpot and mix well. Turn to high and allow cheese to melt - about 10-15.   Stir well. 

Serve over hot rice and top with broken chips, avocado and sour cream - or whatever toppings you like.  


Serves 6-8
