1 medium onion, chopped |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 teaspoon cumin |

2. With a large slotted spoon, transfer browned thighs and onions into crockpot then pour beans and rotel over the top; cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.
3. Before serving, remove skin and bones from the now falling-apart-tender chicken and shred the meat (be careful it will shred fast) then gently stir in the cream cheese.
