Description

A warm, comforting slow-cooked chicken dish with creamy corn and a hint of spice, perfect for busy weeknights or feeding a crowd.


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can of corn (drained)
  • 1 can of diced green chilies
  • 1 cup of cream cheese
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)


Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add the drained corn, diced green chilies, cream cheese, and taco seasoning.
  3. Pour the chicken broth over the top, ensuring everything is well combined.
  4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and shreds easily.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheese about 30 minutes before serving and cover to let it melt.
  6. Shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker and mix everything together.

Notes

For added flavor, consider searing the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust spice levels and try adding bell peppers or black beans for texture.
