Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 15 oz can black beans
  • 1 Cup Corn
  • 4 oz can chopped chilies
  • 10 oz can diced tomatoes or Rotel
  • 2 Cups cooked rice
  • 3 T taco seasoning
  • 1 Cup cheddar cheese
  • Rice or flour tortillas

Method
 

  1. Place chicken in your slow cooker and top with taco seasoning. Add beans, tomatoes, chilies, and corn. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours.
  2. Once cooked, shred the chicken, add back into the crockpot and top with cheese. Turn crockpot to warm and let melt. While it’s melting, get your rice cooked or make as burritos with flour tortillas.
  3. Serve immediately!

Notes

Storage: 
Remove any leftovers from the slow cooker base, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can also freeze any leftover crockpot chicken. Remove, cool, and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight.
Simply reheat leftovers by simmering over medium on the stovetop, until hot, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of stock or water, or even a few more canned tomatoes, to loosen the mixture if needed.
Make this crockpot chicken ahead of time, too. Cook and keep on "warm" on the counter until you're ready to serve. Alternatively, if you're making this further in advance, cook and allow the chicken to fully cool before removing to the fridge until you're ready to reheat and enjoy.
