Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 20 oz cream of chicken soup 2 cans
  • 10 oz black beans drained (optional)
  • 14 oz Rotel mild, medium, or hot, as per your preference
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large chicken breasts diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:Dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces. Drain the black beans thoroughly if you’re including them.
  2. Layer in the Crockpot:Add the diced chicken breasts to the bottom of your crockpot. Pour the cream of chicken soup on top, spreading it evenly to coat the chicken. Add the Rotel and black beans (if using), then stir gently to combine.
  3. Top with Cheese:Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture. Avoid stirring the cheese into the ingredients—it will melt on top as it cooks.
  4. Cook to Perfection:Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4–5 hours or high heat for 2–3 hours.
  5. Mix and Season:Once the cooking time is complete, stir everything together to create a creamy, cheesy mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve:Spoon the creamy nacho mixture over tortilla chips or serve it as a warm dip with chips on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can add a dash of chili powder or taco seasoning to the chicken for a flavor boost.
  • For a spicier version, use hot Rotel or mix in chopped jalapeños.
  • To keep tortilla chips from getting soggy, serve the creamy mixture and chips separately.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
