CROCK POT CREAMY MEXICAN CHICKEN (AKA FIESTA CHICKEN)



Crock Pot Creamy Mexican Chicken (Aka Fiesta Chicken) image

Creamy chicken dish that you can spice up to suit your taste. Basically, it's slow cooker chicken with cream cheese & any other ingredients you like. This recipe is our favorite combination and has a mexican flair. Plus, using the crock pot makes this dish simple & fills the whole house with a nice aroma. We like it best served over cooked egg noodles or rice. I gave this recipe to my cousin & she serves it by adding spoonfuls of it to pre-made taco shells. (Note: sometimes instead of onion & red bell pepper I just add 1-1 1/2 cups of frozen bell pepper/onion from the bag in the freezer secion)

My family loves this recipe. I started out making something else, but found that I did not have some of the ingredients I wanted to use...so went back to the pantry and took out the beans, tomatoes and corn. I put rice in the rice cooker and cut the chicken into strips, put them in the crock pot, mixed up the remaining...

This can be prepared in a crock pot or on the stove. I would suggest not adding the chicken until the last hr or so to prevent over cooking.
