Southwestern Chicken


Crockpot Southwestern Chicken courtesy of Sisters Cafe
1 small bag frozen corn
1 can black beans
2 large frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 6 chicken tenders cause I was using my smaller crock pot and they fit better)
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. Shred chicken with forks. Serve with tortilla chips and add toppings to individual servings.
Her notes - **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!
My notes - I am not a big fan of regular salsa, like Pace. I did use it and it turned out good, but next time I think I will use my favorite one, a roasted red salsa. This was really good! We ate it like a taco salad. So easy to put together! I shredded the chicken and then let it sit another 30 mins before we ate.
