4 raw chicken breasts – bone/skinless, 2 packets taco seasoning, 2 (8 oz) cream cheese blocks, cubed, 1/2 cup water, 1-(14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes – basil, garlic & oregano, 1-(7 oz) can diced green chiles (mild) drained, 3 cups shredded Colby-jack cheese, taco-sized flour tortillas (around 28 ct)

Place chicken breasts in Crock-Pot, sprinkle chicken breast with taco seasoning, add cream cheese cubes, water, tomatoes, and green chiles.
