Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker, then pour the tomatoes, green salsa, black beans, pinto beans, and corn over the chicken. Sprinkle the taco seasoning, cilantro, ground red chile, and cumin over the mixture, and stir to combine. Cover the cooker, set it to Low, and cook until the chicken is very tender and the mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 hours.

For a soup, leave all the liquid in the cooker; for a thicker stew, remove some liquid if desired. Mix 1 or 2 tablespoons of the liquid with the cream cheese in a bowl, stir until smooth, then stir the cream cheese into the cooker to make a creamy sauce. Continue cooking for 15 minutes, then serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
