Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 (10 oz) cans Rotel tomatoes with green chiles

  mild, original or hot
• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  or thighs
• 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
• 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans

  rinsed and drained
• 10 oz frozen corn kernels
• **1/2 cup chicken broth – only if making this in an instant pot!

Instructions

• 1 Drain the extra liquid out of the cans of rotel. Spray crockpot
  [https://amzn.to/3ZRAAY1] with a little nonstick spray. Spread 1 can of Rotel on
  the bottom of the crockpot. Lay chicken breasts or thighs on top of the Rotel.
  Sprinkle half of your taco seasoning onto the chicken.
• 2 Top chicken with black beans, corn, and Rotel. Then sprinkle on the remaining
  taco seasoning.
• 3 Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until chicken
  is cooked through. Shred chicken and serve as desired!
• 4 Spray bottom of instant pot with a little nonstick spray. Add 1 can of rotel (do
  not drain) to the bottom of the instant pot. Add chicken broth. Lay chicken on
  top and sprinkle with half of your taco seasoning.
• 5 Top chicken with black beans, corn, and second can of Rotel. Then sprinkle on
  the remaining taco seasoning.
• 6 Seal the pressure cooker with the lid. Select Manual (or Pressure Cook button
  depending on your instant pot model) and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.
  Don’t forget, it will take about 10 minutes for the instant pot to come to
  pressure and then the timer to start counting down. 
• 7 When the cook time finishes, let the pot sit undisturbed for a 10 minute natural
  release (meaning do not touch the instant pot for 10 minutes after it says it’s
  done cooking). Then turn the steam release knob to Venting to release any
  remaining pressure and open the lid.
• 8 Shred chicken and serve as desired! There will be more liquid in the pot when
  this Mexican Chicken is cooked in the instant pot versus the crockpot. So I like
  to remove my chicken breasts and shred them in a different bowl and then scoop
  out the corn/beans/tomatoes with a slotted spoon and add them to the shredded
  chicken.
