Salsa chicken in the crockpot!

Having a family And being busy go hand in hand! But it is still important to feed your family healthy home made meals, that are easy for you to make and tasty for them to eat!

Last night I was looking through my crockpot cookbook, "Make it fast, Cook it Slow." and took their salsa chicken recipe and added some things to make it my own! It was delicious and extremely easy. You could really use anything you have in your fridge or pantry to toss in the crockpot. Once you are ready to eat, you could even shred the chicken and throw the mixture in a tortilla with your favorite topping and have a wonderful taco filling!

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 chicken breasts, halved

One can of your favorite salsa. I used a medium Pace chunky salsa.

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed if using canned ones.

I cup frozen corn
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup sliced black olives

Directions:
Pour half the salsa at the bottom of the crockpot to keep the chicken from sticking or burning.
Top with chicken breast halves.
Add the remaining ingredients on top of the chicken breasts. Pour the east of the salsa on top.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Once again you can really add anything you would like to this. Some ideas are: cilantro, green chiles, jalapeños, or bell peppers. You could top with some sour cream, guacamole or cheddar cheese, or put it i a tortilla with some lettuce and have yourself a taco!

This recipe is extremely easy, smells great while cooking, healthy, and delicious! What more can you ask for on a busy weeknight!
