Friday Foodie Feature – Fiesta Chicken
Hello Friends and Happy Crocktober Fri-Yay!
I missed a few Friday Foodie Features last month but the timing is now right with the official start of Autumn. October begins the season of football, family and comfort foods and it also means a return to my all time favorite way to make a meal and that is with the Crock Pot or Slow Cooker.
It wasn’t too long ago that there were only a few Slow Cooker Seasonings available at the grocery stores, now there are several more options available on the supermarket shelves. I’ve tried a few of the new ones by McCormick’s and the Fiesta Chicken was a hit in my house, my men loved it – ‘ole
Ingredients:
- 1 can of black beans
- 2 cans of diced tomatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1-2 lbs or chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 packet of McCormick’s Slow Cookers Seasoning – Fiesta Chicken
Spray Crock Pot with cooking spray or use liner, put in chicken thighs or breast – remember NOT to wash the chicken.
Mix all ingredients into a bowl and stir
I had this frozen tomato so I added it
tip when a tomato begins to soften, don’t throw it away, put it in the freezer to use later in sauces or the Slow Cooker.
Served over rice – Cilantro optional – dinner is served!
Have a fantabulous Day – Smooches!
This looks like a yummy recipe, thanks for sharing. Good tip about freezing tomatoes. 🙂
The crockpotter scores again! I really need to use mine more…
Oh yes, at least once per week – have a fantastic weekend!
You are welcome my dear and glad you liked the tomato tip. Have an awesome weekend my dear.
Crocktoberfest – giggle giggle! Love it!!
Happy Weekend!!
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Yummy!!
It was, thank you.
What an awesome recipe, and one that I’d love to try. I’ve always fried chicken over first before putting it in the crock pot, now I have the confidence not to (which means I’m more likely to try this recipe as I hate the mess chicken makes when it spits – not to mention the added time of browning it first). And your tip about the tomatoes – fabulous. I have two in my fridge at this very moment which are not going to get used before they become too soft.
This sounds delicious and perfect for a quick and easy dinner. Thank you.
Yes, I love my crock pot and for the month of October will feature a new recipe on Friday. Have a fantastic week!
