This is one of my favorite crock pot recipes mainly because there are SO MANY leftovers granted we are a family of two. I made this last night – we had it for lunch and we will have it again for dinner – I am adding more veggies to the mix so it does not get to boring 
This recipe almost did not happen last night after – Budget Savvy Diva is Clumsy
What You Need
- 4 -5 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn
- 1 (15 ounce) jar salsa , any kind
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- Rice
- Lime – Zest and Juice
- 1 tsp of Pepper
What To Do
Get that good old crock pot out 
place the 4 – 5 chicken breasts in to the crock pot – you can use frozen if you like – you will have to increase cooking time.
Now give it a mix!
Set the crock pot at low for 4 hours At the last 30 minutes put the cream cheese.
Around hour 2 I took out the breasts and I cut them up ( that is how Mr.Savvy likes) I ended up shredding my chicken which I thought was better – it really is up to you.
Once the chicken is tender enough to shred with a fork you are done.
During the last 30 minutes cook the rice – I used my trusty rice cooker.
Place rice in a bowl then put the chicken on top – there is plenty of sauce which is perfect for rice
Enjoy!

Hey BSD, I’m making this now with pork backribs, instead of chicken. I browned the pork and added it to the crock. I’ve added extra beans and I plan on adding cheddar cheese to the mix and serving with chips and guacamole. I’m hoping browning it will keep the cooking time as low as your original time but if not, I’ll just serve spaghetti tonight. Thanks for posting.
This looks delightful. Do you think it would work with the neufchatel(sp?) cheese instead of cream cheese? I can’t have whole fats since I had my gall bladder removed…:(
Actually that is what I used
OMG, thanks so much for telling me that! I can’t wait to try it!
I made this last night and it is one of my new favorite recipes! Oh my, it was seriously good and so simple. I love easy, simple recipes. My One year old had seconds! Your blog is my new favorite blog. Good luck with the move.
My crockpot only has the setting for HIGH 4hrs or 6hrs. and LOW for 8hrs or 10hrs. So which one should I pick?
Slow is always better – so 6 hours
This is cooking in my crock pot right now… do I need to add any salt?
WOW this is my new favorite recipe! So easy to make and so yummy. I can’t wait to eat leftovers tomorrow! Thanks for posting!
I am glad you liked it
Made this for the first time tonight. Wonderful! Very yummy! This will go into our regular routation. Thanks for a great recipe.
I am so glad you liked it
Wow, that looks awesome! I will be making this next week for sure. It will give me lots of lunch for work, thanks for sharing!!!
I’ve made this quite a few times & LOVE it! If I had to eat one thing every day for the rest of my life, this would be it! It also freezes well. I put the leftovers into Ziplock bags & freeze it flat. Reheat in microwave & wrap in a tortilla w/shredded cheese, YUMMY!
I LOVE cream cheese, but I was just wondering if there was a healthier substitute…I know…not as good though! =) Would it work with less cream cheese? Looks amazing though! I’m going to try this tonight!
I would you plain yogurt
Greek Lime yogurt. Awesome!
I saw a similar recipe that cooked the rice IN the crock pot with everything. Have you ever tried that? Think it would work?
Just wanted to share, I tweek’d your version a tiny bit, I added a packet of taco seasoning… put the mixture and rice in a burrito and topped it with tomatoes, onions, sour cream and cheese.. OOOOH MYYYYYY its AMAZING!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
