Step 1
Start by placing the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the tomatoes, green salsa, black beans, pinto beans, and corn over the chicken. Sprinkle the taco seasoning, cilantro, ground red chile, and cumin on top, then give everything a good stir to combine. Cover the slow cooker and set it to Low. Let it cook for 8 to 10 hours, until the chicken is super tender and the stew has thickened nicely.

Step 2
If you want it more like a soup, just leave all the liquid in. For a thicker stew, feel free to scoop out some of the extra liquid. In a small bowl, mix a tablespoon or two of the cooking liquid with the cream cheese until smooth. Stir that creamy mixture back into the slow cooker and let it cook for another 15 minutes to blend the flavors. Then, it’s ready to enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines rich, creamy flavors with a bold, spicy kick that excites the palate. It’s comforting yet vibrant, making it perfect for those who love a little heat in their meals. The Latin-inspired spices add a unique twist that keeps every bite interesting.
How to serve
Serve this stew over fluffy white rice or warm tortillas to soak up the sauce. A side of black beans and a simple green salad can balance the richness and add freshness to the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Let the stew cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days and can be frozen for up to two months. Reheat gently on the stove to maintain the creamy texture.
