Crockpot Queso Chicken (Dip or Meal!)
Description
The recipe combines chicken breasts with a blend of taco seasoning, cream cheese, queso cheese, and Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles, all cooked together in a Crockpot. Cooking on high for 3 hours or low for 7 hours allows the chicken to become tender and easily shreddable. After shredding, mixing it back into the creamy cheese and tomato mixture creates a smooth, cheesy sauce infused with a spicy tomato flavor. The slow cooking method prevents drying and melds all ingredients seamlessly.
Serving options include using the mixture as a dipping sauce or spooning it into tacos for a hearty meal. The creamy cheese and spices provide comforting richness that complements various sides or chips.
For best results, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated gently to maintain the creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 10 ounces ROTEL diced tomatoes and green chiles
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 16 ounces Queso cheese
- green onion optional, tops
Instructions
- Prepare the liner of the Crockpot with a non stick cooking spray.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the liner.
- Top the chicken breasts with taco seasoning. Add the diced cream cheese and the cubed queso, and then top with the diced tomatoes and green chiles.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours; or on LOW for 7 hours.
- Remove the lid and shred the chicken breasts (use two forks). Stir the contents well and serve as desired.
Notes
- Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days to preserve freshness.
- This dish works well both as a warm queso dip or as a filling for chicken queso tacos.
