Crockpot Southwestern Chicken

My wonderful friend Jenny told me about this website. http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com Be sure to check it out or sign up to follow it. Their recipes are amazing and so tasty! My family loved this as tacos and nachos. This also makes enough if you double it, that you can have it for dinner and then freeze a second meal. My favorite way to cook!



Crockpot Southwestern Chicken

1 small bag frozen corn
1 can black beans
2 large frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 16-oz jar medium salsa, such as Pace medium picante sauce
shredded cheddar cheese
tortilla chips
sour cream
chopped cilantro
diced avocado

Pour bag of frozen corn in bottom of crockpot. Place frozen chicken breasts on top of corn and cover with rinsed and drained black beans and jar of medium salsa. Cook on high for 1 hour, and then on low for 4 hours. (Don't over cook.) Shred chicken with forks. Serve with tortilla chips and add toppings to individual servings.
**It is very important that you use MEDIUM salsa in this. Mild simply isn't flavorful enough. Be sure to serve with tortilla chips, and not tortillas. The salty crunchy chips make this so good!
