Slow Cooker Santa Fe Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fat-free chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
  • 1 (8 ounce) bag frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Instructions
1
Combine black beans, chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, corn, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and a pinch of heat from the cayenne pepper in a large slow cooker. Add salt to taste and mix well.
2
Place a seasoned chicken breast on top of the bean mixture, sprinkling it with additional salt as desired.
3
Place the slow cooker in a low-temperature setting and let it cook for an extended period of time, approximately 9.5 hours.
4
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board to shred into tender strands.
5
Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir it gently with the bean mixture to combine.
6
Continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld together.
