Simple Southwest Chicken

View Recipe  • Print Recipe

Super simple recipe here.  As if I would ever post a complicated one.  Check out the prep video below and you can see just how simple Southwest Chicken Dinner is.

 

Cooked diced chicken mixed with corn, onions, tomatoes and black beans served with a side of white rice topped with cilantro all in white bowl .

Toss it all in the slow cooker and let dinner cook while you sit by the pool and work on your tan.

This mixture would also make great burrito filling or nachos…yes, nachos!  Pile on the cheese!  Be sure to use a slotted spoon if using for nachos as to not make them soggy.  So many great variations of this creamy southwest chicken can be used to make several amazingly easy dinners.  

 

This recipe freezes beautifully too.  So make 2, 3 or 4 of them all at once and toss in the fridge for later.  It only takes about 5 more minutes to make 4 as it does 1 so get an assembly line going and crank a few freezer meals out in about 15 minutes!
