Why This Dish Is So Special

This dish combines rich, creamy textures with bold, vibrant flavors that awaken your palate. It’s comforting yet exciting, making it perfect for a cozy dinner with a little extra zest.

Kitchen Tips

- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for juicier and more flavorful meat.
- Simmer the stew gently to let the spices fully develop without burning the cream.
- Add fresh cilantro or lime juice at the end to brighten the flavors.

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the tomatoes, green salsa, black beans, pinto beans, and corn right over the chicken. Then sprinkle the taco seasoning, cilantro, ground red chile, and cumin on top. Give everything a good stir to mix the flavors together.

Step 2

Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Let it cook for about 8 to 10 hours, until the chicken is really tender and the stew has thickened nicely.

Step 3

If you want it more like a soup, just leave all the cooking liquid in. For a thicker stew, you can scoop out some of the liquid before the next step. Take a couple of tablespoons of the cooking liquid and mix it with the cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth. Stir this creamy mixture back into the slow cooker and let it cook for another 15 minutes to meld everything together.

Step 4

Once it’s done, give it a final stir and serve it up warm. Enjoy!

Perfect Pairings

Serve this stew over fluffy white rice or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up every bit of the sauce. A side of warm crusty bread also works great for dipping and enjoying the spicy creaminess.

Storing Leftovers

Allow the stew to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid curdling the cream.
