Step-by-step
- Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking oil.
- Add all the ingredients above. You can even add the chicken frozen (that's what I do).
- Drain the beans.
- Slow cook for about 4 to 5 hours on high or until the chicken is done.
Canned tomatoes with green chiles supply the essential moisture and acidity needed to break down dense poultry fibers during a long heat cycle. Cooking poultry straight from a frozen state inside a slow cooker requires careful temperature management to ensure safety, meaning the center must reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before shredding begins. Dairy proteins tend to split when exposed to sustained high heat, so stirring the cream cheese in during the final forty-five minutes prevents an undesirable grainy texture.
- Shred the warm meat immediately using two forks while it absorbs the remaining cooking liquid, which guarantees maximum moisture retention for storage.
- Store the finished mixture in an airtight glass container for up to four days in a refrigerator operating at 35 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
- Adapt this dish for dairy-free diets by substituting the cream cheese with an equivalent volume of unsweetened full-fat coconut cream.
- Freeze portions in heavy-duty silicone bags for up to three months, pressing out all excess air to prevent freezer burn.
- Transform day-two leftovers into crispy tacos by spreading the cold mixture onto a skillet heated to medium-high with neutral oil.
Leftover portions thicken considerably overnight as the starches cool and absorb residual liquids. Reheating these cold portions requires a splash of water or broth over medium-low heat to restore the original sauce consistency without scorching the dairy solids.
