Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or equivalent in skinless tenders.2 cans of Rotel (whatever variety you like).1 can of black beans1 can of pinto beans1 can of corn1 cup chopped onion1 package low-sodium taco seasoning1 package Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix

Directions

Cook the onions and chicken all the way through, either in a skillet or a big soup pot. Chop or shred the chicken up after cooking. ( A tip: If you buy the tenders, cut them with kitchen scissors as you put them in the pan. They will cook faster and already be cut up.)

In a big soup pot, add the chicken and onions along with both cans of Rotel, both cans of beans and the corn. DON'T DRAIN--ADD THE JUICE FROM THE CANS!

Mix in both seasoning packets.

Allow to simmer for as long as you like to get those flavors going!

Possible garnishes: a few avocado chunks, a bit of light shredded cheese, fat-free sour cream, those "Light" tortilla chips, whatever you like!

Chicken Enchilada-Style for the Slow Cooker

I threw this together from what I had in my pantry at the time. With proper planning, I'd use fat-free soup and sour cream. It is delicious as-is, but fat could certainly stand to be cut.

You can put the chicken into the slow cooker while still frozen, so prep time is virtually non-existent! A great choice to throw in before bed for lunch at work or in the morning for that night's dinner.

This recipe calls for two pounds of chicken, also because it was what I had available (three large breasts), but would make a great meal with just one pound, too.

I served this along with brown rice and black beans. Tasty!Submitted by: BLUEKITTEN

This was yummy- although VERY spicy for kids. Next time I will omit rotelle and add canned tomatoes. My kids tried to eat it but it was just too spicy for them. - 9/1/08

My husband and I ate this and thought it was excellent. Definitely the best tortilla soup we have tried. The longer you let it cook, the less spicy it becomes. I cooked it for a total of 9 or 10 hours over a period of two days (cooked and reheated). Much better (less spicy) the second day!! - 12/16/10

I did this "American Idol" version---took it and made it my own! I had 3 chicken breasts, one can of Kroger's tomatoes and green chilies, added a can of lowfat/low sodium chicken broth, and cilantro. I didn't have the Hidden Valley mix, but it was still delicious. I'll make it again, for sure! - 5/11/09

It was delicious! I added a cup of low sodium chicken stock and put it in the slow cooker for 6 hours. Added beans 30 min before finish. Will be making this again. - 4/6/17

Easy and tasty. I did substitute left over chicken from a roast chicken and it was very good. - 3/31/15

So, so delicious!! We used home-canned tomatoes and jalapeno from my garden in place of the Rotel but if it tasted any different, I don't know. I just know it was phenomenal and we're having it again tonight! - 9/25/10
