    Brown the chicken in the olive oil
    after the chicken is browned add it to the crock pot with other ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours

    I add home made fiesta salsa and 1 can of chick peas and a can of white beans and 1 lb bag of frozen corn. When it is about 1 hour from being done I add fresh spinach leaves too

    I just invented this one tonight. All it needs is some fresh cilantro and that would make it perfect. I call it Tex Mex Chicken.

    Tex Mex Chicken

    ingredients:
    2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (mine were 28 oz altogether, and is what I base the nutrition content on)
    1 cup your favorite salsa (I used Pace chunky medium salsa)
    2.25 cups black beans (I had leftover black beans from cooking them the other day, so I measured and tossed them in)
    1 cup frozen corn (not thawed)
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    salt (to taste)
    pepper (to taste)

    Place chicken breasts in crock pot and pour salsa on top. Cover crock pot. Set on low and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or however long you need them to. Shred chicken, add beans and corn and spices to shredded chicken and salsa. Stir until mixed, then cover and cook on low in crock pot. Serve over rice or in soft taco shells. Garnish with diced fresh tomatoes. Shredded cheese and low fat sour cream would be good. I will use the leftovers to make burritos and freeze them for a future meal.

    Makes 5 cups.

    Calories per 1/2 cup serving: 158
    fiber: 5g
    protein: 22g
    calcium: 3g
    sodium: 213g

    Only my really picky 17 yr old son wasn't thrilled about the dish.
