Ingredients
5 chicken maryland pieces (1 - 1.5kg chicken pieces with bone and skin on)
1 x 250g block of philadelphia cream cheese
1 x 35g pkt of taco seasoning mix
150ml cooking cream
(cornflour to thicken)
Instructions
Place chicken pieces in the slow cooker
Cube Philadelphia cream cheese and toss cubes over chicken
Sprinkle taco seasoning mix over the top
Cook on low for 4hrs
Carefully lift out chicken pieces, debone them and set aside the chicken meat
Give the sauce a REALLY good whisk while the chicken is out to break down the remaining cream cheese lumps and combine the sauce nicely
Add a good tblsp of cornflour mixed in 150ml of cooking cream to this sauce and whisk again.
Return the chicken to this sauce and stir to combine
Allow to cook on low for a further 30mins then serve
I served mine with steamed broccoli, while other family members enjoyed theirs with rice
