crock pot recipe


I LOVE my crock pot! making dinner has got to be one of my favorite things to do... but after a long day when the kids are all cranky (okay, I am too) I hate it!
So I try to make as many dinners in my crock pot as I can.
After finding this recipe on pintrest, I have made some slight changes and this is now a family favorite.


2 large (or 4 small) boneless skinless chicken breasts
14 oz can of diced tomatoes
15 oz can of black beans
1 cup frozen corn
2 cups chicken stock (or water and a bullion cube)
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic powder
1 cup salsa

combine tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken stock, onion powder, garlic powder and salsa stir.
add chicken on top of the mixture.
half an hour before serving take chicken out and shred, add back to crock pot.

cook on low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours

serve over rice.
*my family loves to add some sour cream, cheese and salsa on top
