This is one of my favorite crock pot recipes mainly because there are SO MANY leftovers granted we are a family of two. I made this last night – we had it for lunch and we will have it again for dinner – I am adding more veggies to the mix so it does not get to boring 😉 This recipe almost did not happen last night after – Budget Savvy Diva is Clumsy

What You Need

  • 4 -5 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn
  • 1 (15 ounce) jar salsa , any kind
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • Rice
  • Lime – Zest and Juice
  • 1 tsp of Pepper

What To Do

Get that good old crock pot out 🙂 place the 4 – 5 chicken breasts in to the crock pot – you can use frozen if you like – you will have to increase cooking time.

Drain the corn and black beans and place into crock pot
Add jar of salsa
Add Lime zest and juice
Add pepper

Now give it a mix!

Set the crock pot at low for 4 hours 🙂 At the last 30 minutes put the cream cheese.

Around hour 2 I took out the breasts and I cut them up ( that is how Mr.Savvy likes) I ended up shredding my chicken which I thought was better – it really is up to you.

Once the chicken is tender enough to shred with a fork you are done.

During the last 30 minutes cook the rice – I used my trusty rice cooker.

Place rice in a bowl then put the chicken on top – there is plenty of sauce which is perfect for rice

Enjoy!
