Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1 black beans rinsed and drained, can
  • 2 cups onion diced
  • 2 cups bell pepper
  • 2 cups zucchini
  • 2 cups tomato salsa fresh
  • 1 cup corn frozen
  • 1 green chilies Old El Paso brand, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ¼ cup cilantro fresh, minced

Instructions

  1. In a crock pot place the chicken breast, drained black beans, vegetables, salsa, frozen corn, green chilies, and chili powder into the crock pot. Mix until combined.
  2. Set the crock pot on low for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours).
  3. Prior to serving, remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred with a fork. Add the chicken back to the crock pot and add the quarter cup minced cilantro, mix well.
  4. Serve with a wedge of avocado and shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Prep Ahead - You can prep this entire meal the night before you want to cook it. Place all the ingredients (minus the cilantro) in a gallon size ziplock baggie. The next day, simply empty into the crock pot and set to cook.
  • Vegetables - I like to use a mix of fresh onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. However, you can add other complimentary veggies like mushrooms, yellow squash, even diced celery.
