Savory Latin-Inspired Creamy Chicken Stew with a Kick
  • Prep Time
    10 mins
  • Cook Time
    8 hrs 15 mins
  • Total Time
    8 hrs 25 mins

Ingredients

  • -6 boneless chicken breast halves without skin
  • -3 cans of diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces each)
  • -1 jar of green salsa (16 ounces)
  • -1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained (15 ounces)
  • -1 can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounces)
  • -1 can of whole kernel corn, drained (15.25 ounces)
  • -1 package of taco seasoning (1.25 ounces)
  • -1 tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro
  • -2 teaspoons of ground red chile pepper, adjust to taste
  • -1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • -½ cup of softened cream cheese

Step 1

In a slow cooker, nestle the chicken breasts snugly at the bottom before generously pouring in a mix of juicy tomatoes, zesty green salsa, hearty black beans, flavorful pinto beans, and sweet corn. Sprinkle a blend of taco seasoning, fragrant cilantro, fiery ground red chile, and earthy cumin over the vibrant medley and gently stir to meld the flavors. Cover the slow cooker, adjust the setting to Low, and let the ingredients mingle and transform over the next 8 to 10 hours until the chicken becomes irresistibly tender and the mixture reaches a comforting thickness.

Step 2

For a soupy consistency, retain all the liquid in the cooker; if you prefer a heartier stew, simply drain a bit of liquid. In a separate bowl, blend 1 or 2 tablespoons of the flavorful liquid with creamy cream cheese until luxuriously smooth, then incorporate this velvety mixture back into the slow cooker to create a luscious sauce. Allow the concoction to simmer for an additional 15 minutes to harmonize the flavors, then dish up and savor the delightful outcome.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the art of marinating: Let the chicken bathe in a zesty blend of Latin spices and creamy goodness for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
  2. 2. Utilize the power of layering: When storing leftovers, create a delicious lasagna-like effect by layering the stew with tortilla strips or rice for easy reheating and a burst of texture.
