Overheard a mom at the grocery store talking about her 'dump and go' chicken

I was in line at the store in Bakersfield last week, and a woman was telling her friend she just puts chicken thighs, a jar of salsa, and a can of black beans in her slow cooker on low for 8 hours... no chopping, no browning. It sounded so simple, and I realized I overcomplicate things trying to follow fancy recipes. I tried her method yesterday and it was delicious and so easy. What's your favorite truly 'dump and go' meal that actually works?

Try adding a block of cream cheese to that chicken mix for a super rich sauce.

Gray, I feel you on that, a whole block sounds like a lot for sure.

Cream cheese in a chicken sauce? That's a lot. It's already got flavor from the chicken and whatever else is in there. A whole block seems like overkill, like it would just make everything taste like cream cheese. Maybe a spoonful if you really want it creamy, but a whole block is for a dip, not a dinner.
