Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Chili – black beans, corn, Rotel, Ranch dressing mix, cumin, chili powder, onions, cream cheese and chicken. This chili is THE BEST! Everyone always raves about it. I love how simple it is. Can throw everything in a freezer bag and have a quick freezer meal later. We make this once a week during the cold weather months.

Pin This RecipeIt is officially chili weather in Alabama – brr. We usually do a traditional beef chili, but I saw this in my google reader and decided to give it a try. One word – amazing!
It is made in the crockpot – my favorite preparation method. This only took 5 minutes to throw together before work. You could even mix it up the night before and just turn the crockpot on before heading out the door. The chili was delicious! We both loved it. It was even great reheated for lunch the next day.
This Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Chili has quickly become a favorite at our house. It is has a permanent spot in the dinner rotation. It is great with some cornbread and a simple salad. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this white chicken chili:

Been using this recipe for years. Favorite in our house! I use frozen chicken breast and cook it all in the instant pot for 30 min. Then stir the cream cheese in at the end. Super easy. Thank you!
First tasted this years ago at a chili cook off at work and had to have the recipe. We make it often because itās a family favorite and a nice change from traditional chili.
I love cream cheese but donāt care for the taste of it cooked in the Crock Pot so I add it toward the end just so it can melt and stir in. I also add the black beans late in the game since theyāre already cooked and it avoids them splitting.
Sometimes I add chicken broth sometimes I donāt, how thick I make it depends on what weāre doing with it.
Thanks for a family and office favorite!
I use undrained, canned, white chicken breast and 1 cup chicken bouillon. Best easy recipe ever! Wish you provided nutrition info for all on special diets ā¤
So glad you enjoyed it.
How do you put the cream cheese in? Do you melt it or cut it into pieces?
I just drop the block right in the slow cooker and whisk it.
I make this recipe every day on Halloween. My neighbors count on it. It is damn delicious!!!!!
I LOVE this recipe (and so does everyone in my house). It is one of my go-to recipes for big family gatherings and vacations. In fact, I’m including it in my travel blog (My Travel Obsession) newsletter next month as a great vacation recipe because its yummy & so easy! Thanks for sharing it!
Can this soup be froze after cooking?
Sure!
Have been making your recipe for several years now. I usually double it and thereās never any leftovers. Iām always told this is the best chili EVER. Such an easy recipe too. Thank you!
This is a great recipe. I have made it lots of times. I always add a can of regular diced tomatoes and sometimes a can of chicken broth. Easy way to stretch the recipe and also make it less spicy. I use the mild Rotel. I try to use the low salt versions of all of those when I can find them.
This recipe is delicious!
I have made this chili at least 50 times for the last 7 years. Iāve lost weight eating it to, as it is very healthy. Just put it into the crockpot for a perfect NFL Football playoff Sunday.
This will be my go to chicken chili. This has awesome flavor. This is winner winner Chicken Dinner. OMGoodness so good
I've used this recipe numerous time for a chili contest at work. I won 1st 3 years in a row, and 2nd the 4th year (because I didn't vote for myself). I tend to precook my chicken just so I don't have to wake up so early in the morning. And sometimes I'll mix it up with the Cilantro & Lime Rotel. I always give them the site for this recipe when they ask, "What's your recipe?"
I'm trying this recipe tomorrow before I go to work but don't have Ranch dressing mix on hand. Can I sub with actual ranch dressing, (I'm guessing 1/4 cup)? Or wait until I get home to add ranch mix to the already cooked chili? I'd like to try it as close to the actual recipe without making changes (for the first time anyway:))
I think you are fine using frozen chicken. It must be the same people telling us not to eat cookie dough that gave that warning. š
So I have never been concerned about using frozen chicken in recipes, but lately there have been a lot of warnings that you shouldn't do it. I am 37 and have lived this long, but am I flirting with disaster?
I have made this, as is, for years. We love it so much. Thank you!
This is really good! Have made it many times for meatless Monday, subbing a couple of different types of beans for the chicken and serving it over brown rice. Delicious! Also have added sliced black olives to the mix at times. Very easy and quick to assemble!
Super easy and incredibly delicious! I loved how you can throw in frozen breasts, and I also appreciated that this only made a small-ish amount. I used Rotel with Habanero for an extra kick, and neufchatel cheese to cut down on the fat content a bit. I took this to a friend's house whose husband does not like beans, so I eliminated those. Bummer! I am making this again next week and will keep the beans.
This was a big hit tonight. I didn't see the recipe until 5pm and it sounded so good I wanted it now so I adapted it for my pressure cooker. I had some cooked chicken so I threw that in the pressure cooker then added all the other ingredients. I cooked it at low pressure for 30 minutes then served it with cornbread. Boy, was I popular with the family. Thanks!
frozen or non-frozen raw chicken breast halves ok? 5 or 6-qt cooker?
Frozen or thawed chicken is fine. I have a 6-qt slow cooker, but 5-qt should be fine too.
Made this for a chili cook-off tonight and it's really good! I substituted diced onions for the onion powder. Also added some celery. Really nice flavor.
This was some of the best chili I've ever had! I will definitely be making it again. Thanks.
After reading all the positive comments I can't believe I never saw this one or made it before. That will change soon! Thanks for ALL the great recipes.
I love this recipe! I found it a few years ago and won a chili contest at work! Today I'm using it for a luncheon at my school! Love it!
The chicken doesn't have to be cooked first?
No – throw it in there raw
This us one of my husband's favorite things to eat. I double the recipe to have some to freeze for his lunches at work, but instead of doubling the corn, I add about 2 cups of hominy.
I made this but only had the "Fiesta Ranch" on hand. Since the Fiesta Ranch is a little spicier, I skipped the chili powder and cumin, and will make it this way with Fiesta ranch every time! Everybody loved it and it was very flavorful!
I will try the Fiesta Ranch next time!
Just used 2 fairly large size chicken breasts (I was following the recipe!) only to find out in the comments I probably should've only used one… Oh well. It will still be delicious!
Well duh, I will just pull out one of the breasts after it cooks and use it in something else. Need more coffee š
Just made this last night. Huge hit! It needed a bit more liquid, probably because I cooked it a bit too long, but it was still awesome. I'm definitely making it again and I'll probably add a can of chicken broth next time. Either way, this was amazing!
Not a huge ranch fan. Is it overwhelmly ranch-y or is there something I can sub instead?
I just put this in my crock pot and now I am waiting. I make one adjustment, because I am not a black bean fan, I used home cooked navy beans. Wish me luck!
I have made this for some time now and am always asked to bring it to get togethers. I make mine thick by either draining off liquid or not adding so much and then using it in wraps…delicious
This was so easy and very delicious! I doubled the whole thing except the cream cheese, I added 4 oz. cream cheese and 4 oz. of plain yogurt. It was awesome even before I added the cheese, next time I might try it without so it would be less calories. I didn't add the cheese until the end because I didn't have any in the house and brought it home from work after it was done.
if you double the recipe should you double the cream cheese also?
Yes, I would.
And how much =a serving?
would you happen to have the nutritional value per serving? (protein, carbs, fat, and fiber) Yes on W.W. and need to calculate points…
I do not provide nutritional information on the blog. You can check out this website for that information: http://caloriecount.about.com
In the slow cooker now! Can't wait! Bought a can of chicken broth just in case I need to add toward the end. I'll let you know if the family gives it a thumbs up! Thanks for posting!
I have to tell you this is a big hit no matter where I take it. I am currently living on Guam and they love spicy so I just add some local boonie peppers and maybe a little extra chili powder and it is awesome!
mine was not soupy it all any suggestions on what I did wrong
you can add some chicken broth or water to it

i have made this several times this fall. so great and EASY for a family! i half the cream cheese and its delicious!
I added a few more spices (smoked paprika, chili w/lime seasoning) and 1/2 pack of spicy ranch Hidden Valley seasoning….one word….AWESOME! Thanks for sharing the recipe…
Oh my goodness, I just cooked this today and I love, love, love it!!!! I'm not a cook so this recipe was perfect for me…
Thank you!!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
So if I double it, do I really need 2 packets of ranch (I don't really cook with this except to make dip!). Also what amount of boneless skinless chicken in terms of weight would you suggest for a double recipe? One more thing, since I'll be using 2 "bricks" of cream cheese should I melt it in advance of adding to the crockpot? I'm excited to try this as you have gotten so many amazing comments! Thank you.
I made this for church last night and everyone loved it!! I needed to make five times the original recipe, so I put 2x the ingredients in my oval crock pot and 1.5x the ingredients in each of the smaller round crockpots belonging to the church. Then once it was all done, we dumped it all into one big pot and served it with corn fritters. It was a huge hit and I had multiple people asking for the recipe!
YAY! So glad to hear it was a hit!!
Made this at my work's chili cook-off and I won! Everyone loved it!
Congratulations!!!! That is awesome!
Making this for Halloween eve. I think I will use sour cream rather then cream cheese. Just sounds less heavy. Stephanie, thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful fall recipe!
Fondly-Lisa
Can't wait to hear how the sour cream turns out. Enjoy!
I'm also interested to hear how it works out with sour cream!
Ok-I tripled the recipe (ya-I'm crazy that way!). Anyway, I did one part cream cheese and 2 parts sour cream. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! This recipe is a keeper for me. I served mine over brown rice and it is a very fulfilling meal.
Thanks again for sharing such a great slow cooker recipe.
Fondly-Lisa
Glad to hear it is good with some sour cream!
I made this over the weekend and it was wonderful. Hubby asked for it for dinner again tonight. I did add some chicken broth to thin it out a bit. Next time I cook it, I'm going to add a can of regular diced tomatoes to add more juice and an additional flavor. Great with tortilla chips and garnished with shredded Mexican cheese.
So glad you enjoyed it!
If I double the recipe, do I need to cook it any longer? Thanks!
I wouldn't think so. Maybe just a few minutes, but probably not.

I make this frequently in chilly weather. I always add a can of white beans and some half and half (eyeball the amount) to thicken it up and make it go further. Always delicious! Love this recipe!
So glad you liked the chili! Love your additions.
I'm making this for the second time in two weeks. We love it! So yummy.
cooking now. Using 3 chicken breast, seasoned black beans (lightly rinse and drained) added frozen onions as well. Will let you know ~
I use 3-4lbs of frozen chicken tenders and it turns out fine you do not need to double the recipe just makes a lot more.
One of my favorite Pinterest recipes! I accidentally used cream corn once and it was even better! You can use NeufchĆ¢tel cream and the lower sodium beans and corn for a bit of a healthier version.
Leigh – WOW!! That is awesome. So glad it was a hit!!
Wow. This is REALLY good. Impressively flavorful for being so simple. My 4-year-old declares it "her best meal ever!" (A compliment she's never dished out before). Thank you!
I made this tonight… it was delicious. I added a little chicken broth to thin the sauce out a little. Thanks for the great recipe!
We really enjoyed this. The whole family ate it up! I will definitely be make this one again. thanks!
Just made this today and boy is it awesome. I threw it all together in a matter of minutes. I also added some extra things i had in the pantry like canned mixed vegetables, bulgar wheat, and canned green chilis and it turned out amazing. It wasn't soupy at all but just really thick and flavorful. Thanks for the recipe!
This sounded pretty good! I just put everything in the crock pot and look forward to seeing how it turns out! My husband is coming home from a business trip tonight, so I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
I did make some modifications based on personal preference/convenience — kidney beans instead of black beans, taco seasoning instead of the individual spices.
I'll let you guys know how it turned out.
So good! Once I shredded the chicken it soaked up all the liquid so instead of chili we had it in tortillas with a little cheese one night and over rice the next night. We will be doing both again.
Goodfellas – jus dump the packet into the crockpot – don't make the ranch dip
This comment has been removed by the author.
Do you mix the ranch with directions on packet mor just put the ranch seasoning in the crockpot?
I made this for dinner the other night. It smelled SO good while it was cooking! I doubled the recipe and left out the beans, only because I didnt have any on hand but everything else was the same. I used Rotel with habaneros because that's what I had, as well. A couple hours before dinner time, I ended up in urgent care with my daughter but told hubby and son that they should go ahead and eat. Hubby texted me at the hospital to tell me, and I quote "this chili is bomb!" LOL He loved it! It was really spicy, even for me and I love spicy foods but that's my doing. The taste was fabulous. Thanks!
I must qualify my comment by stating that I am not a crockpot cook. I like to use fresh ingredients and no "cream of…". I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ingredients didn't include any "cream of…" and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! I did make a few modifications – used frozen corn, used 1 can of chicken stock, and did not use the Ranch packets. Instead, I added more spices (1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 Tbsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper). I served it with fresh cilantro, and it was delicious! Perfect for a snowy, winter day.
This looks very delicious!is it very spicy?I like a little kick but not too much, if so could I reduce the cumin or chili powder or both?
This is a favorite in our house. I always have to double the recipe to have leftovers for lunch.
This was absolutely delicious! Everyone in my family loved it and can't wait for me to make it again. Thank you!!!
This is an awesome recipe and a huge hit with our family. I added some green onions and chopped up half of a white onion instead of using onion powder and turns out amazing! Also added 2 c. water because I like my chili a little more on the soupy side.
thank you Stephaine…are most slow cook meals on low?
Willie – I cook it on low all day
What's the desired temperature or crockpot setting? Help plz!
I made this for dinner last night and it got a big "mmmmm" from my boyfriend. We both had 2nd helpings and I'm eating the leftovers for lunch right now. It's even good cold. I'm sure I'll be making this again. š
I made this last night and we were fighting over who got to lick the pot–it was THAT GOOD!!!!! A keeper for sure!
Hi there,
Just popped this into the crockpot- its suppose to rain today in San Diego so its that White Chicken Chili kindof day-also pinned this!! Can't wait to try the final product-love your recipes
Have you ever used beef in this recipe?
I have this in the crockpot right now..sooo excited to try it!!!
Allison – not sure what you could substitute for the cream cheese – I would suggest other cheeses, but that doesn't help you. Maybe some sour cream?
Have you ever made this without the cream cheese or by substituting something for the cream cheese? I don't eat cheese, but was hoping to make do without or by subbing…thanks!
Full fat unsweetened coconut milk
Just made this, and it's really good! I think it's a bit too spicy though, so next time I might use less chili powder. I doubled it, and it was SO easy to make!
I made this today, didn't have black beans, used white, I have very potent chili and used only a teaspoon. I also added a chopped onion. It was SO good!
I made this the other night for my husband and I and we LOVED it! He was hesitant at first to try it because he said it was "un-American" for chilli to be made with chicken lol! He loved it so much that he asked for me to make it again tonight! I don't have a slow cooker, so I poached the chicken with some onion garlic and kosher salt and just shredded it after it cooked and just did the rest in a pot on the stove. I did add a bit of crushed red pepper, black pepper, garlic powder and franks hot sauce. All I can say is that this was DELICIOUS! This is definitely a keeper!!!
A-maz-ing! I made this for tonight's dinner and 3 out of 4 of us had seconds. I had leftover chicken so used that, didn't have ranch dressing mix so used an enchilada packet instead. I could have eaten more but needed to go to Zumba. š Thank you so much for such a delicious and easy recipe!
Made this last week and we're making it again this week. SO GOOD! I am so glad that I found your blog. Best food blog I have found. Foods that I usually have the ingredients for and aren't too hard and are ALWAYS delish! Thanks for sharing!
Tomi – I will have to try the Velveeta next time I make it. I think everything is better with Velveeta!
This is fab! I was out of Rotel (gasp) but I used a can of diced tomatoes and a can of green chili's. Super awesome! Oh- I also added some Velveeta cheese the last 30ish minutes. I can't wait to make this for a football or family gathering. Thanks!
I am going to make this tomorrow. Can't wait!
Heather – it will still taste good without the Rotel. If they don't like chunks of tomato, you can puree the Rotel before adding it to the soup. If they don't like the spice of Rotel, just substitute diced tomatoes – you can puree those too.
This looks so yummy. I defintely want to try it, but my husband and kids are so picky. If I don't put the Rotel in it will it still have good flavor? Is there any substitutes I could use instead?
Try Salsa. That's what I used.
Makin' this tomorrow! I temporarily don't have a crockpot. Think I can simmer on the stove for a few hours?
Makin' this tomorrow! I temporarily don't have a crockpot. Think I can simmer on the stove for a few hours?
I have chicken breast leftovers that are already cooked and would love to try this recipe. What should I do differently when using already cooked chicken?
Lindsay – you can cook it the same way and just reduce the cooking time. You could also stir in the chicken right before serving – maybe about 10-20 minutes before to warm the chicken b
We tried this for dinner tonight and it was amazing. When it was finished, It was too thick for what we prefer for soup, as I was getting some water to thin it down, my husband grabbed chips and just started eating it that way (not realizing it was soup) So we just had it that way. I love happy food mistakes! Everyone loved it, including my very picky eater!
Make this for dinner tonight. Delicious!! Thanks!
Sissieg – yes, drain and rinse the black beans
Made this last night for dinner. I have pinned a lot of your recipes so now I'm just going to bookmark you site. YUMM!
Aynsley – You can cook it on the stove for about 3 hours on low.
What if you don't have a slow cooker?
Made this and entered it into our homecoming chili feed contest tonight…and it was the top vote getter! Thanks for the great recipe!
Just made this tonight! was a great hit. Will be making it again Trying your BBQ chicken tomorrow night! thanks for all the good recipies.
Wow, this is SO GOOD. I don't like to cook, in fact I hate it, but I saw this on Pinterest and it was so easy I had to give it a go.
Dump, dump, dump… set on low and come back to pure heavenly deliciousness!
I made this last night and it was so awesome! I kept coming back for more! I think next time i will double the recipe and add a little liquid/broth. A keeper!!
I made this this week & should have read the comments. My consistency turned out somewhere between chili & dip, so I just should have added a little water.
I modified it a little bit, as I can't have that much cheese due to salt content & I added a bit more Rotel. Tastes very good, at a thicker consistency, with Tostitos Scoops chips or wrapped up inside a small tortilla shell.
I usually don't like chili very much,but this is.excellent!!!! Made multiple times so far and everyone that's tasted it absolutely loves it!! Definitely a keeper!! š
I've made this multiple times and it is so easy and so tasty! My book club LOVED it and everyone wanted the recipe afterwards. With my line of work the hours are crazy and that's why I love that you can thrown in all ingredients and come home to an awesome meal!
We found this recipe at the end of May and have been enjoying it about every other week since. For our family, I double the recipe, but only do one serving of chili powder and chilies. Less spicy for the kids that way.
How long should it cook if cooking on High?
Found this on Pinterest and made it last night. Sooo good! I used Rotel with Habaneros to spice it up a bit more.. And also used ground chicken so it would cook faster!
Have you ever tried using this in enchiladas? Any idea how it would taste? I would of course drain the rotel and corn prob so it wouldnt be so soupy
This was really good! A friend told me it's even better if you add a can of chicken broth, so I did that. We really liked it.
Jennifer – great tip! I'll give that a try next time I make this.
This looks so yummy! I am curious to know if anyone has used non-fat plain greek yogurt instead of cream cheese? I might try it, but add the greek more at the end since in won't really have to melt..
I love this Cream Cheese Chicken Chili! I have made it more the once now and it is a favorite at my house now. I found you on Pinterest and I am so happy that I did!
This is great! I don't care for Ranch Dressing mixes, they taste too "fake" to me, so I just used a half pouch of fajita seasoning and little bit of powdered buttermilk 1 tablespoon or so), and it was great. Also, I had frozen corn (loose) so I just filled the empty rotel can with the frozen corn, topped it off with chicken broth to make up for the lack of corn liquid, and we were good to go! When we reheated it the next day, we stirred in broken tortilla chips so it got some additional texture, and that was great also.
Ridiculously good!!! I made this last week and when I was meal planning for this week my husband requested it AGAIN this week! So so easy and SO good! Great with corn bread!
Made this for a chili cookoff at work – it was fantastic. This is the only chili to date I actually like.
This is by far my favorite chili. I've made it twice now. My family loved it, but found it too spicy, so this last time, I used one can of Rotel and one can of diced tomatoes (I doubled it for our family). The heat was perfect!!! Thanks for the great recipe!!
This looks so good! Do you cut up the cream cheese into cubes?
Heather – I just dropped the block of cream cheese in and the heat from the chili melted it fine.
I made a double batch this weekend and sent it back to school with my son. It's so easy, versatile, and very nicely spiced as is. My son likes spice, so next time I'll use the hotter Rotel or add some chopped jalapenos for more kick. Thanks for posting!
We made this earlier in the week. It was really good! I doubled it and was glad I did, the leftovers where great.
OH MY GOSH!!! This is SO freakin good!!! Best Chili I've ever had!
I keep finding your amazing recipes on pinterest. I am dying to make this. Can I use frozen corn? I am so happy to be following your blog.
Andrea – frozen corn is fine.
I just made this last night. My kids and I loved it! Doubled the recipe to fit my slow cooker & tweeked the ingredients slightly (like using white corn w/ chipotle & 1 packet of regular ranch & 1 packet of fiesta ranch). Delicious!!!
I made this last night, wasn't paying attention to the size of Rotel so I bought the big can, 24oz and used it all, and it still tasted delish. YUMMY. So excited to have the leftovers are lunch. Amazing recipe.

What is Rotel?
It's diced tomatoes and chilies. š If you can't find it, get one can of each (the green chilies should be a 2-3 oz can) good luck!
So good! It is a definitely a keeper recipe!
I loved the flavor, but it was very thick. Before I thinned it out I thought of how good it would taste in a Fritos or Tostitos scoop as an appetizer……
Look delish! Can't wait to try it. oureatinghabits – I'm in Canada as well, and you're right, I doubt we can get Ro-Tel here. All it is chopped tomtaoes with chili peppers or jalapenos. You can easily substitute diced tomatoes and your own chopped peppers. No problemo. š
How well will this freeze? I like to make individual servings for lunch. Has anyone had any luck?
Making this right now. I didn't have Rotel and didn't want to run to the store so I just added diced tomatoes. It may not have all the spices the rotel does or the peppers, but I still think it will turn out wonderful.
Assuming I should use boneless, skinless chicken?
Yummy!! Made it this week and was told i could make it again! I added a can of White kidney beans also.
This looks great! How many does it serve?
It will serve about 4 people
Oh my goodness!! I made this the other day for myself and my-inlaws! It was SUPER EASY and such a hit! Thanks
How many servings would you say this is? I'm trying to calculate calories š
This recipe is currently cooking in my crock pot and it smells AMAZING! I made a few adjustments to my recipe. I used black beans and northern beans. I also added some cilantro and black pepper. I can't WAIT to try this tonight. š
Made this tonight and it was *really* great, especially considering the minimal work needed.
We used low-fat cream cheese and everyone loved it — not too creamy or too ranch-y.
Love the recipe box integration!
I heard a couple of my locker room buddies talking about this today and immediately my mouth started watering..too bad I don't have time to run home and get this ready for tonight… looks like it's on the menu for Friday or Saturday though! YUM!
We had this tonight and it was great! It was more on the thicker side and we had it with tortilla chips. We thought this would be great next time spread on tostada shells with lettuce and sour cream. Can't wait to try that!
Made this tonight and it was TERRIFIC! I'd even make this when company is coming!!!
Can't wait to try it. War Eagle!
I made this tonight and it was so very good. Thank you for all the recipes! I did use chili beans instead of black beans.
I'm cooking this in my crockpot now!
Jason – you are correct, just double everything if you want a double batch. Good luck!
If I wanted to double this recipe would I simply double the ingredients or would? I know this is probably obvious but I am a cook in training;) Thanks
I don't currently write about the nutritional information
I didn't see whether you wrote about nutritional information.
We ate this today and it is very very good. We will have this again for sure and it is really economical.
Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work and food.
Lee Ann
I just found this on Pinterest! I wish I was having it for dinner tonight! Yummy.
Liz – it should be fine cooked on high
This looks great and easy….thinking I will need to double it for my family of 5 plus leftovers. And I'm wondering how great it would be cooked on high….I need it done in 5 hours today…..hmmm.
This looks great, Steph, especially all the spices visible on top. I just saved this one to try, it would be perfect for a busy weeknight and I don't use my crock pot enough.
The chicken will make some liquid as it cooks. Give it some time to cook down and if it still looks too thick, add water until it is the consistency you like.
I have this in the crock pot now. But it doesn't look like enough liquid??
we had this last night. Winner all the way around!
The weather made us make chili too!
This would be about 4 adult servings.
You may have answered the question about the serving size, but I don't see it. How many servings does this recipe make?
Yum! How many servings does this make?
Marie – yes. Drain and rinse off the black beans and then dump everything in the crockpot.
Why do you rinse and drain black beans?
There is an enzyme in beans that causes gas. Draining and rinsing canned beans gets rid of this enzyme that has gone from the beans into the water.
So good and so easy! I even made a low carb tortilla wrap the next day for lunch with leftovers.
Do you rinse and drain the black beans before putting them in?
THe fact that I can use frozen chicken breats is awesome! This is definitely a keeper to try !
Thanks for sharing ! xo. A Southern Bee Diary

Adrienne – 2 breast halves
Do you post the nutritional information?
YUM! Must make this for the cold weather. Thanks for sharing!
ps I'm one of your newest followers and just love so many of your recipes here. Thanks for keeping my recipe addiction going š
This sounds so good! One question is that two whole chicken breasts or two halves? Thanks!
I would assume 2 halves. Otherwise that's a lot of chicken. š
This recipe looks amazing! I don't think we have Rotel in Canada š
I am just using canned diced tomatoes and a can of green chiles.
This is a wonderful recipe. Itās just very delicious.
I love it!!
Briggins810- the chicken will just cook a little faster if they aren't frozen. No taste difference.
I'm making this for dinner tonight. My chicken was not frozen though…should that make a difference?
I actually tried this recipe this past weekend and loved it! Yes, you use frozen chicken breasts. It's a keeper!
Sounds yummy! Did you use frozen or fresh chicken breasts?
Has anyone tried this with leftover turkey?
Has anyone tried this with leftover turkey?
I've made this many times before, and think it would be awesome with leftover turkey. In fact, you could probably just simmer it in a soup pot rather than using a crockpot if your meat is already cooked. Or put it in the crockpot for maybe 2 hours and stir it up.
