Easy Crockpot Mexican Chicken


Here's a crockpot recipe for ya. I love crockpot meals because of how tender meat gets, but definitely don't cook them enough. For some reason, I just don't have a whole lot of good crockpot recipes I'm dying to make. We modified this one from crockpotchicken.net, which has a ton of different chicken crockpot ideas. Let me know if anyone has any great recipes I should try! This is a good one because it's nice and easy and very healthy. It may not look very flavorful from the pic, but it's actually pretty tasty. To liven it up a bit, throw on some sour cream or shredded cheddar. We served it over some white rice (of course, choose brown as the more healthy option :) Sorry I'm not writing much else, but it's getting late and I am getting sleepy! Have a good night!

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 15.5 oz can pinto beans, drained
  • 1 15.25 oz can corn kernels, drained
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 14 oz can chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, halved
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • cilantro, to garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts in bottom of crock pot and cover with corn and beans.
  2. Mix remaining ingredients in small bowl and pour over crockpot mixture.
  3. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
  4. Top with cilantro and serve with rice or tortillas.

A crockpot is the one gift anyone can benefit from nowadays. Turn it on late at night and wake up to dinner prepared while you're sleeping. Perfect!

Crockpot cooking is convenient and I know it can be just as delicious too.

That looks good! Check my blog, I've been doing a slow cooker recipe about once a week. I've really been using mine alot this winter.

I love crockpot meals. This comes at a perfect time for me. During the week, easy to throw together and sounds darned good!!

I got a slow cooker recently, and am waiting for winter to really bust it out. I see many fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks in my future.

This looks like a good one. Hope you had a good sleep :)

the crockpot is a wonderful tool, and that's all there is to that. further, nothing satisfies me more on a chilly day than hearty and hot (temperature- and spice-wise) mexican flavors. great dish!

I am printing this one for my son, since he has one and feels it saves him so much time. We are also Tex-Mex fiends, so this looks great and is right up our alley...
