Fiesta Chicken is so easy to make with only 5 Ingredients and no chopping or prep work needed! The chicken is fall apart tender with corn, beans, in a creamy sauce. Serve over rice and top it with all your favorite toppings.
Spray the slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Lay the chicken breasts on the bottom. They will probably be overlapping slightly and that's fine.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beans, corn, salsa, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Stir together and pour over the chicken. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
With 30 minutes left in the cook time (or just when the cook time is over) take two forks and shred the chicken. It will easily just fall apart and shred nicely. Stir everything together. Place the cream cheese chunks on top and cover with the lid again, cook the remaining 30 minutes.
Give it a good stir to combine the cream cheese in with the chicken. Serve the fiesta chicken over some rice and top with all your favorite toppings!
Notes
Make it Spicy : Use medium or hot salsa, add a can of diced green chilies or jalapeno peppers, or some cayenne red pepper along with the other seasonings if you want some spice. Recipe as is, is perfect for kids and adults. But if you want more heat then just add accordingly.Beans : Feel free to substitute with any other bean. We prefer it with black beans.
