The Best Sourdough Glazed Donuts

Well now that I’ve aired my dirty laundry, let’s move on. I love quick meals. Anything that I can throw together on short notice because I always have the ingredients on hand makes me happy. While at my mom’s house last summer, she made one such meal that I’ve added to my family’s menu over and over again. I love the versatility of the meal and the ease in preparation. It’s healthy and filling too.

Recipe: Quick Crock Pot Chicken Beans and Corn

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn (I always add more because I LOVE corn)
1 bottle medium salsa

Put chicken in crock pot and cover with beans, corn, and salsa. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. 30 minutes before cook time is over, take out the chicken and shred with two forks. Return to crock pot for the remaining time.

Eat!

Thoughts:

I love this meal. We eat it on tortillas with lettuce, avocados, tomatoes, and cheese. Or we eat it over rice. Recently I’ve been cooking wild rice and use salsa as part of the liquid. When it’s almost done (about 10 minutes left) I add in the corn and beans. My husband and I eat that as our meal, even without the chicken. It’s a fast alternative when you are running out of ideas!

    This is Crock Pot Mexico!!! We add some cilantro, sour cream and hot sauce to the end product, also to lower heavy metals.

    We make this all the time!! At our house we call it chicken aztecca. We top ours with cheddar cheese and serve it over brown rice. and sometimes while it's still in the crock pot i add a few tablespoon of cream cheese.
