Crock Pot Recipe: Chicken Fajita Chowder

The thing that makes this chowder so much fun for the kids are the toppings – we are topping people around here! Crush in some tortilla chips, sprinkle some cheese, add a dollop of sour cream or even toss in some cilantro.

Crock Pot Chicken Fajita Chowder Recipe-

Ingredients:

• 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
• 1 packet fajita seasoning
• 1 medium onion – chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 3 cups of water
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans – rinsed and drained
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can southwest corn – drained
• 1 can rotel
• 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
• 1 cup instant rice (brown or white)
• 1 can condensed cheddar soup
• toppings if desired

Directions:

• Place chicken breasts, fajita seasoning, onion, garlic, water, black beans, southwest corn, rotel and green chilies in the crockpot and stir to mix. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 5-6 hours. (Times may vary depending on your crock pot)
• 30 minutes before you are ready to serve use a fork to shred chicken breasts and add uncooked instant rice and condensed cheddar soup into the crockpot, stir to mix.
• Serve once rice is cooked – add toppings as desired

**Since I have small children and a husband who doesn’t like things very spicy I use 1/3 to 1/2 can of green chilies instead of a whole can.
