This week I made Mango Salsa Chicken from Simple Organized Living. It was easy and delicious!
Mango Salsa ChickenINGREDIENTS:
- 1.25 lbs chicken breasts
- 1.5 c. mango salsa
- 1 15 oz. can black beans — rinsed and drained
- 1 c. frozen corn
- 4 oz. cream cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- Place chicken in stoneware, cover with salsa, beans, and corn
- Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours
- One hour before serving add cream cheese
- Stir before serving
Thoughts on This Week’s Recipe:
Ease of preparation:
This recipe couldn’t be easier! All you do is dump a few ingredients in the crock pot. Love it!
Overall opinion:
We loved this! It was so easy to make, and so good. I served it with a green salad on the side. Ours was pretty saucy (I used three chicken breasts) and the sauce would be delicious as a dip with tortilla chips. It would even be good to omit the chicken and double the other ingredients and make this as a dip for a party. Also, if you aren’t able to find mango salsa or want to make your own, try this recipe out.
Would you make it again?
I will definitely be making this one again regularly…it’s so easy and delicious!
Did you omit or add anything?
No, the salsa I got was mango papaya salsa instead of just mango salsa, so that’s the only thing that was a little different.
Would you change anything next time?
I will cook it for a little less time…I’m still trying to figure out my crock pot, and even though I put it on low for only 6 hours and the chicken breasts were frozen when I put them in, they still were a little overcooked. So next time I might try 5 1/2 hours. I also may try it without the cream cheese some time for an even healthier version!

You tell me! I’m looking for new recipes to try…I like anything that’s quick and easy, good for you, and delicious…please share if you have a family favorite or have seen something you’ve been wanting to try…I’ll try it with you!
