These are heavenly, scrumptious, delicious, and amazing. I only have one picture from the entire (simple, but lengthly) process because I was so excited to plop down on the couch and eat them, I forgot that I might want to blog about them.
These are perfect as a meal, an appetizer, or a snack. And don't be scared by "lengthy." The only reason they take a while is because the crockpot is involved. Actual hands-on time is almost nothing.
Ingredients
Two frozen (or thawed) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Two cups of your favorite salsa (I LOVE Margaritaville salsa from BJ's, and Trader Joe's medium salsa as well)
One cup of water
One can of corn, drained
One cup shredded cheddar
A pile of tortilla chips (I used Wegman's organic yellow corn tortilla chips)
Put the chicken breasts in the crockpot, pour salsa, water and corn over chicken, place lid on crockpot, and cook on high for 5 hours. (I'm sure cooking on low for 10 hours would do the same thing).
Place a single layer of tortilla chips on a nonstick foil lined baking sheet, and sprinkle half of the cheese onto the chips. Top with a thin layer of the chicken mixture (shredded), then top with remaining cheese. Bake for about five minutes, or until cheese is melted.
The last step is very important. Add a small pile of tortilla chips on the side, so you have some slightly baked/soft chips, and some crunchy non-baked ones as well. The combo of textures is delightful.
Enjoy with a glass of red wine, while your children sleep, your husband is out of town, and you are catching up on DVR'd Kardsashian episodes. Or, if you don't want to admit to all of that, just enjoy. ;)
