Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken

This sounds pretty yummy and SUPER simple. You could probably serve this with tortillas too and make it more of a taco type meal.

15-oz. can corn, drained
16-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
16-oz. jar mild salsa
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 red onion, cut in thin slices
several cloves of minced/chopped garlic (to your specifications)


Garnish: shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, sliced green onion, chopped red
and yellow peppers


Boil chicken until cooked thoroughly and then shred by using 2 forks. Combine all incredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 hours. Eat with tortillas and add desired garnishes just before serving.

I double this and feed my family of 8 for 2-3 days!!! It's a family favorite.
