Quick and Easy Crockpot Chicken Nachos (THM E)

I love me some chicken nachos! Yummmmm-E (haha, get it, it's an E recipe, sorry- couldn't help myself!). Growing up, we ate out at Mexican restaurants frequently, and I always order chicken nachos. Now that I'm a Trim Healthy Mama, I wanted to recreate one of my favorite treats in an on-plan way. This meal totally did that for me, with the added bonuses of being ridiculously easy and quick.

Also, I know E meals can be a struggle for some Mamas. I absolutely love 'em because I'm a recovering carb-o-holic! I love that Jesus is the Bread of Life because I definitely need my daily bread (both Him and the one you chew!), so I love an eating plan that lets me get my carbs in. I would love to share my favorite Energizing recipes with you on this blog, and it will probably make my family happy if I share my excitement about food with y'all instead of just telling them about it over and over and over....

But, this meal very could be one that you'll want to talk about and make over and over and over... it's really that delicious! As is, this recipe is an E, and you can add 1/3 cup of brown rice or a handful of baked corn chips to it to round it out. It's got a creamy, decadent flavor even without cheese, but if you're in the mood for a fabulous crossover, it's fantastic smothered in cheddar cheese. If you really want nachos but not the corn from chips, you can make chips with Joseph's pitas or lavash bread (either of these options are a FP). Yum yum!

Without further ado, here's my new favorite recipe!

Quick and Easy Crockpot Chicken Nachos

Serves 4-5, easy to double

2 large chicken breasts

16 ounces salsa

1 packet of taco seasoning (or make your own)

4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained and refilled with water to the top

1/2 tsp gluccoman 

Place all ingredients (except for gluccie) in the crockpot pot and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6. Just before serving, remove chicken and shred it. 

Add gluccoman to crockpot with other ingredients and stir. Add chicken back into crockpot and stir. Cover for a few minutes while prepping plates and calling everyone to dinner. The meal should thicken and then dinner's ready!
