So around 5 days a week I end up cooking dinner for our neighbors. Mike & I then join them for dinner & entertainment. Well, entertainment for us because their house is craziness. It does help promote birth control a little but alas we are still "practicing" Anyways, the last time i made burrito/taco filling the 5 & 8 year old ate it up. So I thought I would give another recipe a try that the boys would be able to assemble and eat themselves. Ok, almost all by themselves... they at least could add or not add the components they didn't want. :) It was an absolute hit. Both boys ate their burritos completely. Holy WOW. That doesn't always happen. When I first started it was hit and miss. Usually it was the older of the two who didn't want whatever it was, without trying it, and would throw a fit which would end in him going to bed. The younger on the other hand at least tried it. Now after three weeks, it has become the older one eats everything and gives it an excellent try and the younger one throws a fit. Talk about stubborn, he can't even be bribed with dessert if he finishes it all. On the other hand, the older one knows we usually have dessert if he finishes everything. I had made chili last Friday for them that Mike & I were not going to join them on due to dinner plans with some friends of ours. To my surprise, I received a text while at dinner that BOTH boys ate the chili and all of their portions. ZOMG! I was in shock. So when we took tonights dinner over, there was no complaining from either of them, and the older one immediately started off with one bite and said, "Uh yum, this is good!"
So without further ado, this was one of the easiest meals to prep!
In the crockpot:
5-6 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 8oz block of cream cheese (regular NOT fat free or reduced)
1 can of black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 can of whole kernel corn (drained)
1 can of rotel
Cook on low 4-6 hours or high 8
I stirred every 2 hours and cooked it for 6 hours
This was then served in flour tortillas with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and rice.
I do wish to report that the new crock pot I received for sweetest day from the hubby, worked amazingly well and nothing was burnt! Woot for new appliances!



That sounds like it would be good on rice.
