I love myself an easy recipe. That's probably why I love my crockpot so much because what could be easier than throwing things into a pot, leaving it alone for hours, and coming back to deliciousness? Not a whole lot...
I saw this on Pinterest with the recipe coming from The Larson Lingo. The label on the pin was "Easiest Dinner Ever". Enough said. I was sold. Yeah for easy!! And man, was it easy.
Here's what you'll need:
The original recipe used chicken tenderloins, but I had chicken breasts in the freezer so I went with that. Now the most time consuming part was draining the corn and draining/rinsing the beans. Tough, I know!!
So in goes the chicken. The initial recipe said you could put it in frozen, but that always freaks me out so I thawed it first. Then comes the cream cheese. And then everything else! Set that puppy to low and leave it be for 6 to 8 hours.
Once all was said and done I made some rice to go along with it and pulled it apart with forks in the crockpot.
I have to say it was pretty good. A tad bland, but totally an easy, repeatable recipe. Might need to think about how to spice it up a bit, but it definitely would work in a pinch!
