Need to get me a crock pot, to make this... Taco chicken... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Bag of frozen chicken in the crock pot. Put the cream cheese, corn, salsa and black beans on top and let it go for 6-8 hours on low. shred when done. serve with chips or as tacos. (This is super awesome,) I need to make this.. anyone with a crock pot want to try it...LOL |

I have a crock pot, but don't use it....I'd just toss the stuff in, leave it on, and then it's ready 6-8 hrs later, right? My hubby might like this recipe. When you say a bag of frozen chicken, what do you mean? Like, wings...or nuggets...or something else? Also, would I use a whole block of cream cheese? Canned corn, yes? Wow, I just turned the simplest recipe on earth into 20 questions. I'm feeling some Martha Stewart shame at present. |
I would not use frozen chicken in a crock pot for safety reasons. I would thaw the chicken in the fridge and then do the recipe. |
I really don't know this was shared in one of my groups, LOL, I don't own a crock pot yet, I am planing on getting one soon... hugs, |

I would think you could use just chicken breasts and shred them? This sounds delicious... I agree, I wouldn't do the frozen chicken. Thawing it in the fridge and then cooking would probably be better. We are going to try this one out, it sounds delicious! |
This sounded so good, I just had to google it and see if I could find the full recipe instructions. Here's what I came up with - it sounds like the same thing: Crock Pot Chicken W/ Black Beans and Cream Cheese...yum! Directions: 1 Take 4-5 frozen, yes, frozen, boneless chicken breasts put into crock pot. 2 Add 1 can of black beans, drained, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of corn drained. 3 Keep in crock pot on high for about 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked. 4 Add 1 package of cream cheese (just throw it on top!) and let sit for about 1/2 hour. 5 All done and enjoy!

I've cooked just about everything from a frozen state before. No problems, meat stays juicier but still gets done. I always check it with a meat thermometer. Steaks and hamburgers on the grill come out great! Actually saw one grilled hamburger recipe where you put an icecube in the middle of the burgers as they are shaped into patties. Seasoning tends to bounce off frozen food so you may want to season it a little ways into the cooking process...:D This recipe does sound yummy! Looks like the cream cheese is added during the last 1/2 hour of cooking.... |
I use partially frozen meats in my crockpot. By the end of the day when I get home, my meal is bubbling away in there. If the meat hasn't thawed and cooked in 6 hours on high your crockpot is no good and should be upgraded ;) I also tend to brown the chicken first in a pan, personal preference, but brown food tastes better :D Frozen chicken breasts in a bag or the frozen chicken tenders would be best. Then they aren't all frozen in a clump, KWIM? |

Hint: It won't look brown with all that stuff on it! I'll be eliminating that step! Lol! |

Browned food tastes better. It changes the taste significantly. That is why I even brown tomato paste. Can you see it's brown? Onions? Nope. But you can taste the difference :thumbup: |

We'll just add that step right back in there! I still occassionally like a stewed chicken in the crockpot, wif gravy...ummmmm! No browning, chicken almost looks the same as it did prior to cooking, but literally falls off the bone...!! |
I will be making the taco chicken tomorrow, i got everything today.. will report on it...LOL |
Ah, I love crock pot recipes! My boyfriend's mama gave me a HUGEE crockpot recipe book! Problem is we dont have a crockpot..lol. Makes me crave my parents homemade food. Sucks being 20 and living off hamburger helper. |

I made this last night! I crockpotted for the first time...woo hoo! SO EASY. Hubby loves this dish. Since it had meat, I only picked out the beans and corn for a taste...and I really liked the taste. Fyi, this is not a good-looking dish. If anyone has visual food issues, this one may not be great for you. It kinda looks like a big pink slop when you're done, lol. I did the dish as written, but also added some cumin, salt/pepp, garlic powder, onion powder. Next time, I want to add real onion. I was reading the reviews on this recipe online...and some other things people tried were: onions, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, taco seasoning, Rotel tomatoes. And they served this dish with: rice, noodles, tacos, burritos, nachos, taco salad shell. Apparently, it freezes really well...so you could make a bunch and freeze it. |
oh, Ann thank you for that, I have Rotel tomatoes, i am planing on making it a burrito style dinner, I bought, flour tortillas , I am making it for dinner tonight.. I will report.. I will add the rotel and onions, salt and pepper, my guys don't have any visulal food issues, as long as it smells and taste good, they will eat anything..LOL |
I think I'm going to make this on Sunday. Ann, do you think it would be good rolled in a tortilla like a burrito? |

Oh also -- I should add that I used low-fat cream cheese, and I only used 1/2 a block, and I feel like that was plenty. One thing you might try to make it less liquidy....is before you add the cream cheese (that last 1/2 hr), use a spoon and drain out some of the liquid/juices...and then add the cream cheese. Tony just loved it...after he finished the burrito, he took a fork and started having a few bites right from the crock pot. :) |
I am going to make this over the weekend too. I printed the recipe and had already decided to add some different seasonings. Glad to know about the draining and using less cream cheese!! I am starving just thinking about eating it:) |

I actually don't enjoy cooking at all.....except for when I use the crockpot. Besides being sooooo EASY, it's really hard to mess up. Everything tastes good when it's slow cooked in a crock pot. :p |

Oh...another tip...some people on the recipe site recommended adding fresh cilantro for taste and visual appeal (like if serving over rice); the little burst of fresh green brightens it up a bit. Alot of people seem to also use this as a dip for nachos/tortilla chips - yum! It's def a comforting dish...warm, hearty, thick, smells fab. |

:thinking: I could, however, eat it on papadums(Indian Lentil crisps)!! :thumbup: |
Can you brown frozen chicken? :confused: |
I made this for dinner last night and my family loved it.. House :: taco chicken slideshow by duchessofstonehillmanor - Photobucket |
