EASY DINNER #4 - Southwestern Chicken Crock Pot

From a series of easy dinner recipes, explained in this post.

There aren't that many things I use a crock pot for; mostly cooking meat.  This is one of the few actual meals that I like cooked in a one.  It's super easy for a day when you will be gone a lot, and most of the ingredients are things you probably keep on hand anyway.  If you want to doctor it up by adding more seasonings, go for it.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN CROCK POT

1 bag frozen corn
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
16 oz. salsa or picante sauce (homemade or from a jar, whatever)

In a large crock pot layer corn, then chicken, then beans, and top with salsa.  Cook on low 4-6 hours (longer if your chicken is frozen, or cook on high).  Shred chicken and serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips and cheese, if desired.
