This was a cleaning-the-cabinets kind of dinner. I thought about stuffing the chicken breast with pepperoni and mozzarella but that was a little more work than I wanted to do this afternoon. I knew I had to use the chicken breast in the next day or so. I opened the cabinet and saw the beans and salsa. The rest, as they say, is history.
I serve this with plain white rice but my son prefers to eat it with whole wheat scoop shaped tortilla chips. Whatever works!
Ingredients
1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 15oz jar of chunky salsa, any heat level
1 15oz can of black beans, rinsed
1 15oz can of corn or frozen, whatever you've got
1 tbsp of taco seasoning (I make my own)
Directions
Put chicken breasts into crockpot
Pour jar of salsa over chicken
Pour can of black beans over salsa
Pour can of corn over black beans
Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over everything
Carefully use a spoon to push all ingredients together without moving the chicken You want everything combined and covering the chicken
Cook on low for 6 - 7 hours
Shred chicken with forks and stir well before serving
Like I said, you can present this over rice. Use orzo if you or your family aren't big fans of rice. You could also toss 2 cups of cooked rice/ pasta into the crockpot right before you serve it. You could even skip the rice/pasta, peel off a few leaves of lettuce and make lettuce wraps with them. Enjoy!
