I have other recipes similar to this crock pot fiesta chicken, but one ingredient makes this one different. That ingredient is a package of Hidden Valley fiesta ranch dip.
The chicken gets placed in the crock pot and them sprinkled with the Fiesta Ranch dip mix. After that you add in black beans, tomatoes with green chilies, and corn. After that, you squeeze fresh limes over it all before serving. It is perfect to use on nachos, in tacos or burritos, or even over rice.
There is even another option for serving this chicken. You add in a package of cream cheese. Give it time to melt. Then you end up with a crock pot creamy fiest chicken. Either way you choose, it’s delicious.
