Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
  • 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add Seasonings and Vegetables: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and taco seasoning over the chicken. Add the black beans, corn, and Rotel on top.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  5. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the mixture and stir until fully melted and combined.
  6. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Serve: Serve the fiesta chicken over rice, in tortillas, or as desired.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream.
  • To increase spiciness, use hot Rotel or add diced jalapeños.
  • For a thicker consistency, let the mixture sit uncovered for 15 minutes before serving.
