Crock Pot Recipe: Black Bean Chicken

Lately, I've been using my crock pot a lot. I just love how easy it is and when I get home, dinner is already made!

Because I'm a faithful crock pot user, I thought I'd share some recipes that I make over and over again with success. This is an all time favorite at our house. The basic recipe is below and I've added some additional info in parentheses.


Black Bean Chicken
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I put them in frozen.)
2 cans (15 oz.) black beans
1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 packet taco seasoning (I use a hot taco seasoning packet.)

Put all the ingredients in your crock pot and stir. Set to low for 6 - 8 hours. After about 6 hours, the chicken should be fork tender. Shred the chicken. Serve in warm tortillas with all the "fixins"!

Serves 4 adults. (You'll likely have leftovers.)

Other additional ingredients you may choose to toss in your crock pot: corn, canned green chilies, jalapenos, red pepper, onion, etc. Be creative!
