Creamy Mexican Chicken

Yum. I served this on corn chips melted some cheese on top with sour cream it was a huge hit with my kids. Very tasty

Love this recipe so easy to make yet so tasty, one of my favorites

Fantastic! I used two chicken fillets, lactose free Philadelphia cream cheese and Zymil lactose free cream. Chicken shredded up great. I served it with Aldi potato gratins and some frozen mixed veg zapped in the microwave. It served 2 adults and a 10 year old. There is enough leftovers for lunch the next day which I’ll serve on wraps.

Love this recipe, it is easy and less than 5 mins to prep. I use chicken thigh and double the seasoning. Yummmmm 🙂

We all loved this. So simple, yet so tasty. I used thigh fillets as I couldn’t be bothered deboning. Served on brown rice, with steamed greens. Delish!

Absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe and used chicken thighs, a pack of taco seasoning and a pack of fajitas seasoning because that’s what I had and it was great! Had my 11 month old sticking her face in her bowl trying to find more! Which never happens! Definitely will be making again and so glad I have frozen leftovers! Served with brown rice.

Loved this, my husband wanted seconds but opted to have it for dinner again tomorrow night. So that’s a win, win (tasted awesome and don’t have to cook tomorrow night lol)

This has become a staple in our house. Kids absolutely love it, as do the adults. I serve it with a little brown rice and steamed broccoli and carrots. I sometimes add an onion to the slow cooker before I check in the chicken. I always use thighs and it works perfectly. Love this recipe so much.

This recipe is absolutely amazing! It’s so versatile after cooking, whether it be nachos, wraps or my families favorite, put into pies. It is always delicious. Thank you so much x

Absolute staple in our house. We have this at least once a week and always have enough left over for leftovers. Usually have it as a meal with plain rice and veggies but also on tortillas mixed with kidney beans. All of my family love this including a fussy 17 year old and a not so keen on meat 9 year old. Found it really easy to make and I always use chicken breasts, 1kg. The rest of the ingredients I use the same. I did find though that the actual Philadelphia brand of cream cheese was too strong (according to hubby) but when I used the Woolworths brand cream cheese it was ok. Overall we love this easy family meal!

My family love this recipe. We do it with Chicken breast. I serve with tortillas cut into pieces and baked in the oven with guacamole or last night I stuffed big mushrooms with this as the filling. Yum!

This was so much better than I imagined it would be! I used 1kg of breast fillets and 2 packets of taco seasoning and was it was just perfect! I can’t wait to use the leftovers tomorrow on wraps for lunch.

Super easy to make. And even my 21 month old super fussy eater son loved it. He asked for more!
Yay!
Win win win 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤩

Fantastic! Became a family favourite instantly and is now in the dinner rotation twice a fortnight. First served with rice & broccoli with the left overs the next day in burritos. I use 1kg chicken breasts instead with 2x taco seasoning and it’s perfect!

Was delicious!! 2 adults 3 kids ate it all and asked for more! Next time might use little less cream. I used chicken breast I cut into cubes. Served with rice, broccoli, cauli and carrots. Yummm

Oh dear – wasn’t a huge fan of this. It was nice but not fantastic. Way to creamy for my family. The philly cheese tasted like sour cream. I followed the recipe but added cooked garlic and onion. I also used diced chicken breast and shredded etc. but didn’t need to add cornflour as the shredded chicken helped thicken. It cooked great etc. in the 4.5hrs but the taste was too claggy. I served with rice but if I was to make next time I would definitely serve with green veges to help lighten the taste a bit. PS. We love mexican so maybe we should have used this as a filling for Quesadillas – now that would have been delicious served with salad. Hmmmm next time………

Amazing quick and easy recipe to follow and will be making it again for my family had no complaints

This is one of the easiest recipes to follow I have made it once and my family enjoyed it my son even told me it was like eating tacos but with chicken will definitely make it again

Hubby made this and I must say I was pleasantly surprised it was a winner with everyone in the household, would make a good filling for enchiladas!

Amazing!! Will definitely be making again!!

Absolutely LOVE this best chicken dish I’ve had.

5 adults and teens and we all liked it. Used greek yogurt instead of cooking cream which is too expensive here and had great flavour. Served with brocolli and kumera, there was plenty and one put some extra into wraps. Will make it again

Cooked it because everyone was fussing over it and no one liked it at all. Very disappointed

Love it! I used 1.3kg chicken breast, 2 x taco seasoning sachets, 250g philly cheese and 300ml cream. The mix is so versatile which I loved – we enjoyed it as the filling for enchiladas, had it under nachos and on its own with roast veggies. I will use less cream next time just to thicken the mix ever so slightly and may try adding onion, garlic and some red & black beans.

Super easy super tasty.
I made this the other night only used 3 marylands served with steamed green veg WOW. Kids loved it.
I used the left over chicken to make quesadillas, kids loved then too.

Made this for the first time tonight- was delicious! And enjoyed by my three toddlers too. I made using 800g of chicken, 1 tub of cream cheese, 100ml of cooking cream, added a diced onion and 3 cloves of crushed garlic too. It was just the right consistency and was enough to feed a family of 5. I served it on tortillas with salad- perfect taco mixture. Next time, I look forward to trying a dairy reduced version with some lactose free cream cheese and coconut cream in lieu of the cooking cream, for our lactose sensitive family. Will also try with some corn taco shells. This will become a family favourite.

My new FAVOURITE! I used thighs/breast, will be my families #1 requested dish I think! Absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing some great recipes!

Someone shared it in the FB page and looked delicious
Had the ingredients but used thigh over Maryland’s as that’s what I had in the fridge.
Huge hit LOVE IT family devoured it
also keto friendly if making your own taco seasoning

I made this for the first time last night and it was absolutely delicious and the house smelt devine. I served it in dinner rolls with cheese for the children and on a plate with a Greek salad for the adults. My fussy son who is a very small eater ended up have 3 rolls. Everyone loved it. Will definitely be a regular for us.

This was sooo yummy! I used chicken breast and swapped cooking cream for coconut cream. Definately a family favourite, my extremely fussy 8yr old LOVED it!

I will be making this again and again. So delicious. I used 2 chicken breasts cooked in my 1.5 litre.

I made this using chicken thighs, I doubled everything though to make a bigger batch, even my extremely fussy 12 son loved it, we had it in wraps with cheese, lettuce and tomato and even had enough for the next night, will be defiantly be making this one again.

Always a winner. Easy peasy. I have used different cuts of chicken and all work well. Verstile for left overs too. In bread rolls, with a salad etc. Kids love it too. Its a great burrito filling too. Or just as main dish.

Delicious! Loved it. I was very impressed with the end result

Been meaning to try this for some time. Was not disappointed.

I only used 4 Chicken Marylands which equaled the 1.K (ours must be giant chooks here in SA). I must also add that the taco packets I had were only 30gr…I just used the one packet but next time I will put in a jar of hot salsa as we like a bit more oomph….

Partner made this last night for dinner. De-lish. We used diced breast as we already had it in the freezer. Cooked for the same length of time. Pleasantly surprised that the meat was still lovely and juicy and didn’t dry out. Didn’t shred the chicken just left it in chunks.
Soooooo good.

Very nice, will definitely make it again.

Was amazing only I used thigh fillets as I was being lazy and used 300ml of cream one not to waste the rest of the bottle and two i cooked this and had it with fettuccine pasta so wanted the extra sauce. All 4 of us ate it and have sent the recipe to family and friends. It’s a must try.

Ahhmazing!! I served it with wild rice and also had broccoli on the side. Very creamy but not too rich. I used boneless chicken thighs and it turned out well. We all went back for seconds.

Made this last night with taco boats but with the leftovers tonight added pasta and spinach. Another recipe to do again

Made this a couple of weeks ago with chicken thighs and, the whole family loved it. It has a fab flavor without being over the top. Tween aged child went back for seconds and asked for leftovers to be put in their school lunch the next day. Have made it since and will certainly make it again. The second time I added extra cream as we like having some extra sauce.

Absolutely love this dish ! So tasty !

Yum yum yum!
Served with veg 🙂

OMG yum so glad I finally tried this, will be adding this to my more regular list, thanks for a yummy cheap family meal

I made this with chicken thighs instead of Marylands. It was delicious! My family had it on tortillas with shredded iceberg lettuce. Yummy!

This was absolutely delicious 😍 the only things I did different was that I used chicken breast (whole), mixed the taco seasoning mix with the cream (added at the start)’then poured that over the breast n cubed the philly cheese n placing on top as recipe states, broke the chicken up once cooked rather than shredding coz I didn’t want it to soak up all the sauce, turned out amazing, thanx Paulene 😘 will definitely make this again 😊👌👍

Love this dish! So versatile- we prefer chicken breast so used that. Used ours tonight as enchilada filling, topped with salsa and cheese. Also added finely diced tomatoes to the mix when I shredded the chicken. Couldn’t stop licking the spoon.

I read the reviews and was very excited to try this. My husband was sold at taco seasoning. We doubled the recipe and changed the chicken to chicken breast and had it on burritos it was delicious! We had leftovers the next day with rice. It is a versatile meal. All my kids loved it.

Made this tonight, so creamy and delicious! I used breast and shredded it to use for nachos…partner wanted seconds but I had to tell him its tomorrow nights dinner too! Tomorrow we will have with rice and steam greens. It’s very versatile- can use as a pie filling too.

Thank you – will be adding to the usual rotation 🙂

I read all the reviews on this recipe and was excited to try it. Still I was apprehensive… Would it really pass the fussy kid test? What about the hubby who typically doesn’t like the taco seasoning taste? I halved the recipe for my families needs and it cooked quicker than the recipe suggests (by about 1.5 hours). I left it on keep warm until dinner time and added a bit more cooking cream just before serving as I wanted it quite saucy to serve with white rice and vegetables. My son looked at it and said “Yuck” (typical response when presented with something new) but after tasting it scoffed a whole plate of it in record time. My daughter went back for seconds. And my husband was disappointed that I’d halved the recipe as there wasn’t enough leftover for HIS second helping. So all in all I’d highly recommend. It’s as simple, delicious and addictive as everyone suggests.

Absolutely delicious, even my fusssy 18 year old was happy to eat it. Thankyou Pauline Christie for this wonderful recipe.

Absolutely delicious couldn’t stop eating it . I had it with pasta himself had it with homemade chips it goes well with anything

This has become my absolute favourite slow cooker meal !!! Full of flavour and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be eating this again !

Just amazing love this will do it again i used chicken breast it was amazing

This is a go-to recipe that we all love, has a lovely creamy taste. I like it also as it is versitile, can be used as a dish on its own with vege etc, but i have also made yummy parcels with it, and i think it could be made into super nachos.. Yet to so that, but i think it would be great!

Yummo…this was Delish! I just used Chicken Breast and it was devine. Lots of leftovers for lunch the next day which everyone was happy about. A Big Thumbs Up in our house, Thanks so much for sharing.

Fantastic meal for winter! We have all been sick in the house so I wanted an easy meal to cook 👌 highly recommended

Has this dish with rice + corn + tortilla chips and had a Mexican themed dinner! Was delicious!

The smell alone when we got home from work was to die for! I copied another comment and added ~150g of baby spinach, could definitely have added double that! Really tasty recipe, and just had it with steamed brocolli on the side

Quick, easy and yum, yum, yum! Used chicken breasts instead and added some crushed garlic and pepper to this. Very tasty, will definitely make regularly 😉

So easy to make and delicious! I threw in some baby spinach leaves at the end! First time I’ve tried it but will definitely be doing it again!

Omg! Yum! Successful meal. I used about a kg of chicken thighs without the bone but followed the rest of the recipe served with steamed broccolini with a little drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and Refried beans omg!! YUM! 6 year old and 2 year old loved!!!!

Cheap easy and yummy 😋 definitely going to make again

Cheap,easy,tasty and creamy perfect if on a budget also Kid friendly my 3 and 6 year old loved it

Just delicious! Easy, cheap, and tasty! Went perfect in our enchiladas! Will absolutely make again!

A nice recipe but can’t help but feel it’s missing something. Its lacking flavour somewhere I felt. Will do again and modify the recipe more to my liking 🙂

Magnificent again..I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and added some home grown red onions and chillis. I also doubled the taco seasoning, then added frozen vegies in the last 90 minutes….beautiful meal and lots of leftovers for work lunches…..so tasty

love this and the leftovers make awesome pies! yum

I absolutely love this recipe , it’s definitely a favourite in my house , will definitely will be doing it again .

Made this today with chicken breast and didn’t add the cream. Was delicious, clean plates all round including the 2 x 2.5yos. Thank you 🙂

Magnificent. I used thighs but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I dont normally love creamy meals, and taco is not my flavour of choice, but after I and another scoffed our mains, as I was putting leftovers away I wanted to eat them too! Definitely doing this again. Great day – two first time tries (this and naked parmi chicken) and two absolute stunners!!

So yummy and easy to make! I used boneless chicken pieces and instead of removing the chicken I just left it in when mixing in the cream and cornflour

So easy to make and ABSOLUTELY delicious. Will definitely be making this one again.

Easy meal to prepare, next time I will use chicken thighs. Served on rolls with salad 👌🏻

I served ours on baked potatoes with steamed veges, very nice 🙂 Now trying to decide what to do with leftovers.

Absolutely delicious! Thickened it right up at the end . Let it cool. Made filo pastry parcels with it then baked them. Amazing, Thank you.

Turned out great ….cooked this today
I used chicken breasts and followed recipe exactly….yumm !

I made 2kg (12 skin on legs) 2 tubs of supermarket own (I had woolies) light cream cheese and 2 ply of taco seasoning. Spooned out the cream cheese in blobs sprinkled taco powder over and left on low for 8 hrs. Stirring a few time. I had the cream but didn’t need it. I didn’t remove the chicken and whisk it. Work perfect. Definitely will do again. Served with tmsteam verges and rice. Yum you.. Thanks for the recipe.

Loved this! Was licking the spoon every time I checked on it! Was so good! Definitely going to be a favourite! Used 600ml of cream, and 2 packs of cream cheese as I like mines with a lot of sauce. Also used a hot fajita mix to make it spicer.

Very easy to make and delicious for the whole family. As others said I used 1kg of chicken thigh fillets which cooked very tender and my very fussy 2 year ate it. Thank you.

Great dish. My mum even liked it and she is a picky eater and finished her plate lol

Loved it. Will make it again for sure 😊

Hubby and I loved this recipe thank you Paulene

This is delicious! So rich and creamy and tasty! Even my fussy 2 year old scoffed hers!

I made this last night and the whole family loved it. Very kid friendly and so delicious! I used chicken thighs as that’s what I had on hand. A family favourite here.

I used chicken thighs as that’s what I had on hand.
One of our new faves.

Made this last night, was so delicious and creamy! Even my fussy 2 year old was scoffing hers!

Excellent recipe. I used 1kg of chicken thigh fillets and all my family loved it. I did the whisking trick with the cornflour and it made it thicker almost instantly. My daughter said it tastes like nachos with sour cream. I’ll definitely be making it again for my family to enjoy. Thank you.
