Our Easy Mexican Cream Cheese Crock Pot Chicken is a delicious “dump” crockpot recipe that makes a creamy Mexican style chicken for a great taco filling!
This recipe is a best friend to any busy person! Seriously. You throw everything in the Crock-Pot
in the morning and when you come home you shred the chicken, add the cream cheese and serve it on tortillas or over rice.
Of course, that’s true of many slow cooker recipes. The best thing about this one, and what separates it from many others, is that everyone will LOVE it. No, you won’t see this recipe printed on the pages of Bon Appetit, but let me tell ya, this will be a huge hit with the fam! It’s a good old fashion family style home cooking. It’s perfect for your busy fall schedule!
You know the drill, soccer practice, ballet lesson, math tutor, band practice, back to school night. Yikes!

July 30, 2016 at 9:58 pmHi JT. Thank you for leaving your comment. I found out that the ads your referring to are not coming from my site, they’re coming from a vulnerability on iphones and ipads. I’m told by my tech people that the fix would be for you to clear the cache on their phone and update to the latest version of ios. Hope that helps. Please let me know! 🙂

March 26, 2015 at 10:55 pmlooks good! does this need any liquids? like chicken stock or anything???
Kathleen says
March 28, 2015 at 2:57 amHi Jennifer. No don’t add any liquids. Don’t worry though, it does it’s crock pot thing and there’s plenty of liquid in the ingredients. Enjoy 😉
Jen says

Deborah says
July 29, 2014 at 6:35 amLooks so good! Question, I see it calls for black beans, but the picture shows other. Which kind of bean is better? Thanks!
Kathleen says
July 30, 2014 at 10:31 pmHey Deborah, to be honest, I make this with which ever beans I have on hand. It’s very versatile. I love it equally with either type of bean!
Diane says

January 10, 2013 at 4:31 amI recently found this recipe on Pinterest and decided that it would be good to try. I had a night class tonight that crossed my husband’s. His sister was going to keep our kids while we crossed paths and he came home and I left for school, so dinner needed to be ready when he got home to feed the kids and I was gone. He decided yellow rice would be good with this and made a small package and put the whole pot of it in the crock pot. When I got in tonight I stirred it all back up, loaded my tortilla, and dropped some sour cream on it… BEST EASY MEAL in FOREVER. 😀
Daphne says
December 29, 2012 at 8:25 pmI’ve made something very similar to this for a while now. Mine is modified due to food allergies, but we love it!
Janet says
December 14, 2012 at 12:27 amDo you know appox how many this would feed? I’m thinking of this for a potluck for work
Kathleen says
December 15, 2012 at 12:52 amI think it would easily feed 12 if you’re making tacos. I estimating that 1 chicken breat will make 3 tacos. If you want to be more conservative you can figure 8-10. Hope that helps 🙂 Kathleen
Vickie says
November 28, 2012 at 3:35 pmI was wondering why there are onions and tomatoes in the picture, but not listed on the ingredient list?
food-admin says
November 28, 2012 at 5:11 pmHey Vickie! Thanks so much for noticing. I’ve been transferring all my recipes from my old blog to this blog. You are absolutely right. I’ve amended the recipe to reflect the corrections. Thanks again 🙂 Kathleen

August 31, 2011 at 11:56 pmHa ha ha “stunt photo”, glad I'm not the only one to do that.
Ben says
August 31, 2011 at 3:34 pmKathleen!!!You just blew me away with the cream cheese, try with tuna as well, you'll be surprised. The next time your making tuna sandwiches.
Either way I love recipe, when someone throws an unexpected ingredient, but in the end the taste is just over the top!!! Keep it up!!!
Stop by crockpotking.com, I have other mexican recipes as well. It must freeze well also, right???

August 31, 2011 at 2:03 pmNow that it's starting to get cold out this sounds so good. I love crock pot meals in the Fall/Winter, although they are great any time!
Kris says
August 31, 2011 at 4:08 amYum! Can't wait to throw this one together!!! Looks like a real winner!

Nami | Just One Cookbook says
August 30, 2011 at 10:04 pmWhenever I see a delicious crock pot recipe, I'm so tempted to buy a crock pot. But as a SAHM, I feel like it's a waste as I stay at home most of the day. But still, I think this is a great cooking gadget!! Your chicken dish looks fabulous!
Megan says
May 22, 2015 at 5:09 amBeing a SAHM is not a good excuse not to use a crock pot. There are some really great meals out there. Plus, if all you have to do for dinner is dump a few ingredients in the cp in the morning, it frees you up for other activities. You can set it, go to the zoo, and come home to dinner!!
Kathleen says
May 22, 2015 at 10:11 pmHi Megan. I agree with you a crock pot is a great tool for everyone!
moose says
June 4, 2015 at 5:37 pmI’m a S@HM and I can not live without my crock pot. It is so easy to put whatever I’m making in there and not worry about it until dinner time. It frees up more time for me to spend with my kids. It also helps our budget bc dinner is done and I’m not tempted to order out.
Kathleen says
June 7, 2015 at 5:00 pmI totally agree with you Moose
Debbi Pickett says
December 24, 2015 at 3:43 amI’m a SAHR (Stay at Home Retired) & Love my crock pots – that’s right I have more than one. I love chillin in the am while I slowly come alive (old bones……), watch the news, & drink my tea. A perfect activity for a slow runnin multitasker is preparing dinner in the slow cooker. So when I’m finally revved up & have things under control, I spend the day wondering how on earth I ever had time to work. Beats me ????
Kathleen says
December 24, 2015 at 5:34 amLol, Debbi! Hope you enjoy this recipe in your crock pot!

August 30, 2011 at 4:48 pmI love a good crock pot recipe. Nothing like coming home from work and having a meal almost ready! Kathleen, I agree a meal doesn't always have to be gourmet to be good.

August 30, 2011 at 1:37 pmId like to invite everyone to my blog Amish Stories today to read a post from old order Mennonite Jean of New York state. Jean has taken-in a foster child named Michael whose parents are no longer able to take care of him. He's English and Jeans family is old order Mennonite (horse and buggy) but that makes no difference in the love that this young man is receiving from this family. Thank you folks and i hope to see some of you drop by the blog. Richard
