recipe: another {easier} salsa chicken.

because i love all things mexi-flavored, i found this recipe on pinterest & decided to give it a go. i've already made it twice and am loving it!

 

ingredients:

1 can black beans (i use trader joe's organic)

1 can corn (harris teeter organics)

1 15oz. jar of salsa (trader joes - this is a clean option)

3-4 chicken breasts (trader joe's skinless/boneless/organic)

-- original recipe uses 6 oz cream cheese, but i did not. i would imagine you can use 6 oz of greek yogurt as a healthier substitute as well!

 



 

 

 

instructions:

1. rinse black beans & corn.

 

 

2. wash the chicken breast & pat dry.

3. throw all 4 ingredients in the crockpot.

 

 

5. cook on high for 4-5 hours.

 

 

 

5. if you decided to use cream cheese or greek yogurt, throw it on top & let cook for another 30 minutes.

6. enjoy!

 

my favorite ways to enjoy:

• over quinoa that has been lightly seasoned with lime juice
• burrito style: ezekial wrap (found at whole foods in frozen section), salsa chicken, sliced avocado, and topped with shredded or sliced raw goat cheese (whole foods).
• simply heated up in a bowl - it really is that good!
