Ingredients
  

  • 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 Medium Onion finely diced
  • 1 can Black Beans thoroughly drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Corn thoroughly drained
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Authentic Taco Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Ground Paprika
  • 1 tsp Ground Pepper
  • 3 cups Cooked White Rice preferably long-grain
  • 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese finely shredded

Instructions

  • Begin by positioning the boneless chicken breasts at the base of the crock pot.
  • Sequentially layer the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped onion over the chicken.
  • Gently pour the cream of chicken soup and whole milk over the layered ingredients. Subsequently, sprinkle the ground paprika, taco seasoning, and ground pepper uniformly across the mixture.
  • Securely cover the crock pot and initiate the cooking process. If utilizing the low heat setting, allow for a duration of 6-8 hours. Conversely, if employing the high heat setting, a duration of 3-4 hours is recommended.
  • Upon completion of the cooking cycle, cautiously remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot. Once safely extracted, proceed to shred the chicken uniformly and reintroduce it to the crock pot mixture.
  • Incorporate the cooked white rice into the mixture, followed by 1 cup of the finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir diligently to ensure homogeneity.
  • Conclude by garnishing the dish with the remaining cheddar cheese. Replace the crock pot cover and allow a span of 3-5 minutes for the cheese to melt adequately.
  • The dish is now ready for serving. Any remnants should be promptly stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
