Kickn Creamy Chicken Stew in a slow cooker with frozen chicken breast

Servings:10
Calories: 293
Fat: 5.0


5   chicken breast  frozen
1   16oz. jar Salsa Verde
2   cans Black Beans
1   can Sweet Corn
1   can Diced Tomatoes with no salt
1   tsp  Ground Cumin
1  3oz packge of Cream Cheese

Directions;
Place chicken breasts in bottom of slow cooker. Add remaining ingrediants except cream cheese.
Cook for 6-8 hours. (depending on your cooker) At this point I removed about 1/2 of the liquid because I like my sauce thick, like a stew. You can leave the liquid if you want a soup. Add cream cheese, cook on warm for 30 mins, then stir.

***my changes was I used thawed chicken breast because they were already in frig and they cooked and i shredded them into the stew. I also couldn't find my cumin so I used a part envelope of taco seasoning. I also added more than 3 oz of cream cheese but I did use the fat free cream cheese. ***  It was very good.
I had made a zesty black bean soup that was very similar to this. The biggest difference was this added chicken and the other had no meat.


This is a quick picture before I shredded up the chicken and added cream cheese. Looks good, doesn't it?!

Enjoy!!!

3T fat free mayo

This recipe came from Spark Recipes site and by member LYZ219.

The next time I make it, I would add something to spice it up. Our individual bowls we put hot sauce, red pepper flakes or just regular ground pepper and maybe a dash of salt. It did also take a few more minutes to bake than what it said.

The whole family did however, enjoy this recipe just as it was.
