For this recipe I use frozen chicken tenders or chicken breasts (yes, frozen) in my slow cooker. This is a good recipe to substitute beans, veggies, etc. and make it the way you want. This will make 10 "healthy" servings (thats 1/2 a chicken breast) so judge your servings on your families appetite.

Ingredients

  • 5 - frozen skinless chicken breasts or 20 frozen chicken tenders
  • 1 jar (16 ounce) salsa verde

How To Make kickin' creamy chicken stew in a slow cooker

  • Step 1
    Place frozen chicken breasts or tenders in bottom of slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients except cream cheese.
  • Step 2
    Cook on high for 4-5 hours (less if chicken isn't frozen). At this point I remove about 1/2 the liquid because I like my sauce thick, like a stew. You can leave all the liquid if you want a soup.
  • Step 3
    Add cream cheese, cook on warm setting for 30 minutes, then stir. This can be served over rice or wrapped in flour tortillas.
  • Step 4
    One healthy serving is 1/2 a breast or 2 large chicken tenders.
