No wonder we head to the kitchen for a hearty warming meal like this...
I pulled the slow cooker out of the cabinet to make this recipe that’s floating all around the internet.
The dish consists of shredded chicken with tomatoes, corn and black beans. It’s an easy meal made in the slow cooker, filled with good ingredients that require no pre-cooking, it’s a great dump-and-slow-cook meal.
Make this recipe your own by adding kidney beans or pinto beans, a jar of salsa, and topping it with sour cream, cheddar cheese also, maybe cilantro, if you like that. The variations are endless, whatever you like that suits your taste.
I served the stew over rice for a filling dinner. Bill thought it was great, and leftovers aren’t bad either, served over nachos!

No slow cooker but it is easily adaptable. Chicken and dumplings and now this...yes to some really nice comfort meals. Hope it warms up soon. Would you believe that it was 39 in our part of Florida this morning, that is cold for our area.
ReplyDeleteHa, 39°, we'd be out washing our cars! Yep, it takes a lot of fuel in our bodies to keep warm and this is a great dish for it. Take care and keep warm in FL, Karen!
DeleteMy daughter says I've gotten spoiled living here in Florida. She said I would have laughed if someone talked about cold in Florida when we lived in New Hampshire. I guess she is right. :D
DeleteToo funny! I can imagine NH weather! We are really going into the deep freeze this next week. About a foot of snow on the way tonight and down to -20° in the middle of the week. Brrrrr!
DeleteIt's freaking cold here in Europe too. I have been drinking beef broth whole day long to warm me up. I should make something heartier like this...it looks really delicious too, Pam.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie! Oh, I think you live in Germany, and I know how cold it can get there. It's cold and today and sleeting now, car was covered with ice when I came out of the store earlier. Thanks and stay warm!
DeleteSounds good but I think I would use chicken thighs instead of breasts, I prefer the flavour. Have a good day, Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane! Yes, chicken thighs would work too, we really like the flavour also. Thanks and take care.
DeleteWe have temporarily escaped winter but will need comfort food soon because we’re going back to Michigan!
ReplyDeleteGood recipe idea.
best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Hi Mae! Oh, I bet it's just as cold in MI now! Take care
DeleteYum - I love a slow cooker recipe because they are so easy to prepare and require minimum supervision. This chicken looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cakelaw! I like the "no supervision" part! Take care
ReplyDeletePam, Nice recipe for cold weather! We could also modify it by using pork I would think. In any case, its about 50 here today with no snow so far this winter...plenty of rain. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteHi Dave! Yes, pork would be good too. Weather sounds good down your way. It's snowing here, about a foot of snow, and supposed to be down to ~9° tonight. Cold! Thanks and take care.
DeleteLove the cartoons! I also love black beans and corn together. I don't know why but boy, they pair well together.
ReplyDeleteHi Ivy! Yes, I agree with the black beans and corn. Yum! Thanks!
Delete❤️
DeleteOh, this sounds so good, Pam! I have a favorite chicken and black bean taco that I order from one of our favorite Mexican places here and this reminds me of that!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! That sounds like a great taco! We have lots of good Mexican restaurants here, with lots of good food! thanks!
DeletePerfect for a cold day, looks yum☺
ReplyDeleteThanks, natalia! Yes!
DeleteThat looks comforting and delicious! Some crusty bread would be nice too!
ReplyDeleteHi Joyce! Yes, crust bread makes it even better. Thanks and take care.
DeleteThis looks terrific! It's cold here, too, although not as cold where you are. This looks like a wonderful dish to warm us up -- loaded with flavor, and so hearty. Neat recipe -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi John! I'm ready for summer! This is good for the cold weather! Thanks!
DeleteWhat a great recipe Pam...thanks for sharing it...I love the one pot meal...and this sound and look so tasty...perfect for the cold weather...okay, I cannot complain since the weather is not as cold as where you are, but cold enough for our standards...
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful week!
Hi Juliana! One pot meals are nice and easy and good too. I'm definitely a warm weather person and looking forward to summer. You have a wonderful rest of the week! Thanks!
DeleteI hope you got a reprieve from the cold weather like we did today, but our temps are already dropping. Your chicken would definitely hit the spot!!
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! It looks like no reprieve for the next week or 10 days, it will be getting bitter cold. Thanks and have a wonderful rest of the week!
Delete" no pre-cooking", "endless variations" - well, that's my kind of cold weather meal!
ReplyDeleteHi Duta! Works for me! Hope all is well your way, take care.
DeleteThere's nothing like a good bowl of hot soup to warm the body on Cold days. I'm guessing that you all have really had a few days with frigid temps. Stay warm my friend...
ReplyDeleteHi Shug! Yes, more than a few and we will be in the deep freeze for the next week. Can't wait for summer. Thanks and take care
DeleteI love slow cooker recipes, especially this time of year. This looks delicious! Terrific for a cold winter day.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Amy! Thanks and take care
Deletethis looks delicious Pam. ! I kmow you love hot time (summer) but this summer are terrible hot for us!!!
ReplyDeleteSend you hugs and be cozy!!
Thanks, Gloria! Oh, I'd much rather have summer than winter, but I'm sure it's really gets hot where you are! Hugs to you and stay cool!
DeleteBurr, Pam it's colder over your way than it is over here. Your slow cooker Santa Fe chicken dish looks to be perfect for the weather your having as well as the weather we're having. Perfect weeknight meal. Thanks for sharing.
