How to Make Azteca Chicken in a Crock Pot

Pour your beans (already drained and rinsed), corn and 1/2 cup of salsa into your 4-quart crock pot and stir until well combined. Place your chicken breasts on top. Pour your remaining 1/2 cup of salsa all over your chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. Once your chicken is done, remove it from your crock pot and cut into 1 inch pieces and put it back in your crock pot. Add in your cubed cream cheese, stir. Cover and cook on high for 15-20 minutes, stirring if it looks like it needs it, until the cream cheese is melted into the sauce. Serve chicken and sauce over rice and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

Crock Pot Azteca Chicken Notes

• When you make this and look in after it has been cooking for a while, it is going to look like there is a LOT of sauce. That’s a good thing! Trust me, this sauce is amazing over the rice, so don’t fret that it looks like there might be too much sauce for the chicken.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
