Saucy Southwestern Chicken

I'm not always fond of having a "gravy" on my meat but this was delicious.  The recipe calls for thighs but we used chicken breasts.  I'm sure you can use beef steaks or patties.  I also used Onion Onion Seasoning instead of the real onions.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp Wahoo! Chili Seasoning
1 pkt Creamy Crab Cheese Ball Mix
1 8oz pkg cream cheese, softened and cubed
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

Instructions:

1.  In a greased 3-quart or larger slow cooker, combine first 5 ingredients.  Cook on low 3-4 hours.

2.  Remove chicken from slow cooker; set aside.  Turn up to high.  Whisk Creamy Crab Cheese Ball mix and cream cheese into slow cooker until melted and creamy.

3.  In small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water together; whisk into sauce until thickened.  Serve sauce over chicken.

Makes 6 servings.  Serve with Garlic Cheddar Mashed Potatoes.

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Combine stop 1 ingredients in a gallon freezer bag.  Place bag and unopened packet Creamy Crab Cheese Ball Mix in a gallon freezer bag.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 1.
