Instructions
- Combine the chicken, corn, black beans, bunch of cilantro, red onion, lime juice, garlic and cumin in a freezer safe ziplock bag. Label and freeze.
- When ready to cook, spray the inside of a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
- Empty the contents of the bag into the slow cooker. Move the chicken into a single layer as much as possible.
- Cook on low, just until the chicken is cooked through, 4-6 hours, depending on your slow cooker.
- When the chicken is cooked, remove just the chicken from the slow cooker and shred using 2 forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker. Add in the 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup cilantro and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the chicken over rice or with tortillas.
