Dice chicken breasts into even bite sized pieces about one inch or slightly smaller. This helps them cook evenly and stay juicy in the crockpot
Layer and Combine in Crockpot:
Add chicken pieces to the crockpot with both cans of cream of chicken soup. Pour in Rotel including the liquid for extra moisture. Add black beans if you are using them. Stir everything together very well so every bit of chicken is coated with sauce
Season and Set to Cook:
Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Put the lid on and select low for four to six hours or high for two to three hours. The chicken should look tender and break apart with a fork but not dry out
Add Cheese at the Finish:
Once the chicken is cooked, add in the shredded cheddar and stir until it completely melts into the sauce. This turns the mixture glossy and extra creamy
Serve and Top:
Spoon the hot cheesy chicken over tortilla chips arranged on a platter. Finish with your favorite toppings such as chunks of avocado, spoonfuls of sour cream, sliced jalapenos, chopped cilantro, or a few olives for color
