Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by layering a mixture of black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt in a slow cooker with chicken broth. Chicken breasts are seasoned and placed on top. The slow cooker works over several hours on low or fewer hours on high to cook everything through and tenderize the chicken.
After cooking, the chicken is removed and shredded before returning it to the slow cooker to blend with the flavorful juices. The resulting dish is rich with savory spices and earthy beans balanced by the tomato and corn sweetness. It has a saucy texture that works well over rice or wrapped in tortillas.
The recipe highlights a balance of classic southwest seasonings with easy slow cooking, making it practical for set-it-and-forget-it meals that deliver moist chicken and integrated flavors.
