Fiesta Lime Chicken

This is a great dish if you ever have somewhere to go and then are having company over right quick. It takes very little effort and tastes amazing. I make a good amount of this because these humans eat a lot. 

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 chicken breasts
  • 2 ranch dressing packets
  • 1 taco seasoning packet
  • 2 cans black beans, rinsed 
  • 2 cans of 10.5oz Rotel
  • 1 pack of frozen corn or 2 cans
  • 1 block of cream cheese
  • 4 fresh limes 
  • Optional ingredients: rice, cilantro, chips, avocado, shredded cheese, Cotija cheese, red onion

Recipe:

  1. Put chicken into crockpot. Add all the ingredients except the cream cheese and limes. 
  2. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 7. If it looks dry you can add a bit of water and a splash of cooking oil.
  3. Shred the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Add the juice from the limes and the cream cheese. 
  5. Cook for 30 more minutes on high. This would be a good time to make rice if you are making bowls. 
  6. Serve over rice or inside tortillas or with chips, along with whatever other toppings!
