Crock Pot Salsa Chicken



This is a great recipe for a Mexican night in. When you eat it, you might wish you’re on a beach with an ice cold beer, and ya know what? Go ahead and drink the beer, because this dish is super filling but also low calorie, so you can splurge a little after a long day with an ice cold beer!

Ingredients:

-  1 lb of chicken breasts
- 1 cup of salsa
- ½ package of reduced sodium taco seasoning
- 1 can of reduced fat cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup fat free sour cream
-1 cup of black beans rinsed
- 1 cup of canned of corn rinsed
- ½ onion chopped
- ½ green pepper chopped

Directions:

Add the raw chicken to the slow cooker and place it on low. Sprinkle the chicken with the taco seasoning. Pour in salsa, soup, sour cream, onions, peppers, and rinsed beans and corn. Mix all of the ingredients together and cover. Cook in the crockpot on low for about 6 hours or until the chicken is cooked. You can serve this over Spanish rice or eat it as a burrito in a whole wheat wrap topped with low fat cheese. I just eat it plain, since it’s so darn good!
