A Fiesta in Your Slow Cooker

In the pantheon of sauces, I find that I make many fewer cream based sauces than any other. Broth, yes. Wine? Of course. Those that are made with cream (or in this case, cream cheese), are less familiar to me. Here is an exception to the rule and I’m glad I made it.

Crock-Pot Chicken With Black Beans & Cream Cheese

This is an easy Mexican-flavored slow cooker dish that takes just seconds to prepare.

Yup. 5 ingredients.

Chicken first and then add the corn, beans and salsa.

Add the brick of cream cheese near the end.

It is amazing how when it melts, the flavors all come together.

A fiesta in your slow cooker!
