Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you opt to use black beans, make sure they are thoroughly drained to avoid excess moisture in the dish.
- Combine in the Crockpot: In your crockpot, combine the cream of chicken soup, black beans (if using), Rotel, diced chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything together until well blended.
- Cooking Time: Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat. Allow the mixture to cook for 4 to 6 hours. If you’re short on time, you can cook it on high for 2 to 3 hours instead. The chicken will become tender and easily shredded, blending perfectly with the creamy sauce.
- Serve Over Tortilla Chips: Once cooked, take a serving spoon and ladle the creamy chicken mixture generously over a bed of tortilla chips.
- Garnish: Elevate your nacho experience by garnishing with your favorite toppings. Fresh minced cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, or black olives add delicious flavor and texture. Customize it further with jalapeños, green onions, or a sprinkle of lime juice to brighten up the dish.
This recipe is not only delicious but also versatile. You can easily adapt it to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs. For a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the mix. If you’re looking for a healthier option, consider using grilled chicken breast or a leaner cut, and swap out the cream of chicken soup for a lighter alternative.
