We've been stuck in the house since last Friday, due to two lovely blizzards that decided to fall upon the DC area this week. I have gotten to the store once, and managed to stock up on enough ingredients that I have been able to whip up some quick, and not so quick, meals. This one is very quick, easy, and of course, tasty. :-)
Ingredients:
*3 frozen chicken breasts (you can use thawed ones as well, but there's something great about taking frozen meat out of the freezer and cooking with it right away!)
*2 cups salsa (I love Kirkland's organic salsa from Costco)
*1 can corn (frozen corn will work as well)
*1 can black beans (dried beans prepared ahead of time will work)
*1 T ground cumin
*1.5 t garlic powder
*few dashes of salt
*few grinds of black pepper
Simply place the chicken breasts in the crockpot, pour the corn and salsa over the chicken, put the lid on the crockpot, and set it on high for four hours (or low for 8 hours).
About 30 minutes before it is done cooking, add the can of black beans (if using prepared dried beans, add them in the beginning with everything else) and mix in the seasonings.
When it's done cooking, shred the chicken, and serve. We used the mixture on crunchy tacos for dinner last night (I topped mine with a little shredded cheddar and sour cream), and I served it over rice this afternoon for lunch.
