You Want Some of This? Sante Fe Chicken-- Crockpot

You want some of this? The best tex mex food I've ever made.  We made a crockpot full of this chicken and ate it all week-- we wanted some of it on quesadillas, in wraps, on nachos, and in tacos! This recipe is my take on one from skinnytaste.com!



Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 hours in the crockpot on low

Ingredients

Protein
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Canned (the amounts are approximate)
14.4 oz of diced tomatoes
15 oz can of black beans
14.4 oz of chicken broth

Produce
3-4 scallions (chopped)

Frozen
8 oz of corn


Seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs onion powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper (add more for a real kick in the face!)
1 tsp of salt
1/4 cup cilantro (I didn't use the cilantro)

Options
Use minced onion instead of onion powder
Add more cayenne pepper
Serve with your favorite hot pepper sauce or salsa


Prep Work
Karate chop your cilantro and scallions

1. Put everything but the chicken in the crock pot and mix together.

2. Lay the chicken on top of the mixture.

3. Cook for 9.5 hours on low

4. Tear chicken to shreds!

5. Cook 30 more minutes on low.

6. Serve it however you want it-- in a tortilla, in a taco, or in a quesadilla (my personal favorite).  You can also serve it on rice.
