Crockpot Chicken, with Black Beans, Corn, Salsa and Cream Cheese
Tried this recipe last night - turned out pretty well, though I had to make a couple of modifications in the ingredients. I used refrigerated chicken not frozen (bought it at the store and put it right in), which might explain the chicken's looking/tasting dry. The other modification was using nonfat cream cheese instead of the regular one, which thickened things up a bit, for quite an interesting texture. (It had looked kind of soupy in the pot, but I'd drained the corn and black beans, so can only think it was the salsa.) Cooked it about 3.5-4 hours on high in my 5.5 Qt Rival crockpot. The flavor was good, but like the turkey chili I made, am looking forward to this when reheated. Will definitely retry it, this time with frozen chicken to see what happens.
