For this recipe I use frozen chicken tenders or chicken breasts (yes, frozen) in my slow cooker. This is a good recipe to substitute beans, veggies, etc. and make it the way you want. This will make 10 healthy servings (thats 1/2 a chicken breast) so judge your servings on your families appitite. Ingredients:
5 frozen skinless chicken breasts or 20 frozen chicken tenders |
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa verde |
1 (18 ounce) can black beans |
1 cup frozen sweet corn |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 (3 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese |
Directions:
1. Place frozen chicken breasts or tenders in bottom of slow cooker.
2. Add remaining ingredients except cream cheese.
3. Cook on high for 4-5 hours (less if chicken isn't frozen).
4. At this point I remove about 1/2 the liquid because I like my sauce thick, like a stew.
5. You can leave all the liquid if you want a soup.
6. Add cream cheese, cook on warm setting for 30 minutes, then stir.
7. This can be served over rice or wrapped in flour tortillas.
8. One healthy serving is 1/2 a breast or 2 large chicken tenders.
