๐Ÿ… Packed with protein and fiber, this dish is a nutritious and versatile option perfect for family dinners or meal prepping.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 2 pounds (approximately 907 grams) boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

– 2 packages taco seasoning mix

– 2 cans (each 14.5 ounces or about 411 grams) undrained diced tomatoes

– 1 can (15.75 ounces or about 447 grams) drained whole kernel corn

– 1 can (15 ounces or about 425 grams) drained and rinsed black beans

Instructions

1- Creating Chicken Fiesta starts with simple steps that fit into any schedule. Begin by placing 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs in the slow cooker for even cooking and flavor absorption. In a separate bowl, combine 2 packages of taco seasoning mix with 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of drained whole kernel corn, and 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans, then pour this mixture over the chicken.

2- Cover the slow cooker and let it cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low, allowing the ingredients to blend into a flavorful meal. Once done, remove the chicken, shred it with forks, and stir it back into the mixture for a consistent texture. Serve over cooked rice and top with options like shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa to enhance the Mexican flavors.

3- For those using an electric pressure cooker, add 1/3 cup of water and cook on the meat or stew function for 30 minutes before shredding and mixing. This method keeps the dish tender and packed with taste, making it easy for home cooks of all levels.
