Our family tried this recipe for Crock Pot Chicken with Black Beans and Cream Cheese last night, and it was delicious. I just love that this recipe has a whopping 5 ingredients. And I really love that it is one of those recipes where you dump everything in the crock pot at noon, the house smells delicious all day, and supper's ready by five!
4 out of the 5 of ingredients are on sale at Publix this week:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts: $1.99/lb
- Del Monte Canned Corn: $1.33 (for 2)
- Publix Salsa: $2.50
- Philadelphia Cream Cheese: $1.25
- Publix Canned Black Beans (regular price): $.79
- Serve over brown rice.
- Use just 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of 4 - shred and mix meat throughout at the end.
- Double the black beans (2 cans) to make up for the chicken.
- Make homemade salsa using this Paula Deen recipe.

So funny- I made this for my family this week too! Question for you- did you use frozen chicken breast? I am guessing no since they are on sale at Publix this week. We used frozen and I was kind of displeased by the texture. My chicken was almost dry in the middle, which I don't understand since it was cooked in all that liquid. I loved the flavors, but was disappointed in the chicken.
Jamie,
Hey, that is funny! I did use frozen chicken breasts actually (I bought mine when they were on sale last time).
Since I shredded the chicken it didn't taste dry. But another reason might be that I pounded the chicken to flatten it out a little bit before I froze it so it would thaw/cook quicker. Another idea might be to cook it on low for a longer amount of time...let me know if you try it again!
Thanks for your comment, and for reading :)

This is the best recipe! We've been making it for about a year now at least once a month. Great for leftovers! I have used fresh and frozen chicken breats and they both work excellent because I shred them after they are cooked and falling apart. I also change it up, if I don't have cream cheese, I use sour cream. I also use only 2 chicken breasts because its plenty! I also put both black and pinto beans in and add some ground cumin, onion powder and chili powder but I don't measure. This is the most versitile recipe ever and always tastes great!!!
Do you put the cream cheese in with all the other ingredients or at the end?
Christina,
I put it in at the end...it just needs to be in there long enough to melt and mix in completely.
Thanks for reading!
This sounds so good!! We're going to have this on Thursday, Fellowship Group and TEACH meeting night!:)
Thanks Sarah. Now I don't have to go to the grocery store today (which I did not have time for) since I have all these ingrdients! Yeah! Sounds yummy.
