I have written several blog posts involving slow-cooker meals and I'm sure you are starting to learn that I think the slow-cooker is a busy Mom's best friend! My fellow Mommy friend, Danica (http://floradanicaphotography.com/ ), read one of my blog posts and was inspired to get out her slow-cooker cook book and see what tasty recipes she could find. She decided to give the "Creamy Chicken Chowder" a try and said it was awesome! So, I thought I would give it a whirl and I think you should too!!
Creamy Chicken Chowder
Ingredients:
4 frozen chicken breasts
1 11oz. can whole kernel corn with sweet peppers, drained
1 10oz. can condensed cream of potato soup
1 4oz can diced green chile peppers
2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1 package taco seasoning
3 cups chicken broth (or water)
4 oz pepper jack cheese, cubed
Garnish: Sour Cream, Cilantro, Crumbled Bacon, and Tortilla Chips
Directions:
-In a 4 quart slow cooker combine frozen chicken, corn, soup, undrained chile peppers, cilantro, and taco seasoning mix. Stir in chicken broth (or water). Cover, cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
-30 mins. before serving, remove chicken breasts, shred and return to slow cooker. Stir in pepper jack cheese and allow to melt.
-Serve with a dollop of sour cream, fresh snipped cilantro, crumbled bacon and tortilla chips.
Enjoy!!
Cottage Mama's Note:
-I very rarely follow a recipe exactly. I guess it's my creative nature, but I always like to give a dish my own flare. I have given you the recipe exactly as I cooked it, which deviates from the original recipe.
what?! i can just throw a frozen chicken breast in? i am so sold!! trying this week for sure
ReplyDeleteJust made it after stumbling upon your blog today! It was delicious! It's a keeper, so I printed it off :) Also, enjoyed your blog!
ReplyDeleteLindsay!!! OMYuminess!!! Can't wait to make this lovely soup....especially since it is a "throw into the crock-pot before you leave for work" recipe along with the fact that it has cilantro in it (LOVE cilantro!!!) - thank you so much for sharing it with all of us in "blog land". :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a delicious recipe!! Easy, and so zesty. We use non-fat, unflavored greek yogurt in place of the sour cream; works well for us, we always have it on hand. Thanks for posting :) We've made it twice now, it never lasts more than 2 days.
