Slow Cooker Southwest Spinach Chicken

Reader Amy D. sent us this delicious recipe for Southwest Spinach Chicken and it now that I have had a chance to make it…let me tell you is a delicious!

The chicken has some great Southwestern flavors from the corn, black beans, salsa and Mexican cheese. And there is just a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. And just a little bit of creaminess comes in from the cream cheese.

I served the chicken to my family over some cooked rice. But, Amy suggests that cooked noodles would work too.

This recipe is one I am going to make again for sure and next time I think I will try it over noodles like she suggests.

Thanks Amy for the yummy recipe!
