How to Make Fiesta Chicken and Beans in a Crock Pot

Cris here.

I often say that you can tell a really good recipe when we make it more than once within a few days or weeks of trying it. A recipe has to be really good for us to make it over and over again when we have a long list of new recipes to try! This Crock Pot Fiesta Chicken and Beans definitely fits the bill. We have had it no less than 3 times this month! Truth be told, I wasn’t sure how we would like it because I am not always a fan of pollo (chicken) in my Mexican dishes… but the chicken in this dish is flavorful and fantastic!

We found the original for this fantastic dump and go recipe in Gooseberry Patch’sMom Knows Best Cookbook. The original recipe called for two cans of black beans but the rebel in me switched it to one can of black beans and one can of white chili beans.

      Hi Marcy- I would use around 2 1/2 to 3lbs. Just make sure not to overcook the chicken breasts. Enjoy!
