Slow-Cooker Mexican Chicken


YIELD: 4 servings
PREPARATION TIME: 5-10 minutes
COOKING TIME: 8-10 hours in slow cooker


Details

This spicy recipe comes from Kitchen Table community member Michelle. Here’s what she has to say about it: “This is a wonderful, healthy slow-cooker Mexican-style chicken. You can make this recipe spicier by adding jalapeños or other fresh chili peppers.”

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup / 240 ml black beans
• 1 cup / 240 ml corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 small jar salsa (your favorite variety)
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml cumin
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml chili powder
• 2 cups / 480 ml cooked brown rice

Preparation

  1. Add to slow cooker: chicken breast, beans, corn, salsa, cumin and chili powder. Mix and cook on low 8 to 10 hours. Serve with cooked brown rice.
To make a creamier version, add ½ cup / 120 ml plain Greek yogurt the last 30 minutes of cooking.

    The chicken was so tender that we were able to cut it with a fork. So easy to put together and our 4-year-old loved it!

    Should you thaw the chicken breast prior to placing in the crockpot or put them in frozen?

    I plan on making this vegetarian but putting in cubes of extra firm tofu. Then I'll serve it over rice or quinoa. I love Mexican-y food so this sounds terrific!

    I'm a vegetarion so I added Tofu in place of the chicken. It was equally as delicious and enough to last me an entire week with leftovers to freeze! Adding the Greek yogurt introduced an interesting creaminess and gave me a protein boost.

    This is the first recipe tried on the Eat-Clean Diet and it was easy to make and tasty. I made wraps wth the leftovers adding lettuce, tomatoes and red onions. Yummy!

    This is a great base that I encourage you to add to! I've made this dish 3 times, and the final recipe is the above recipe, made with 1 whole can of beans, sometimes black and pinto. I top each serving with 1/4 of an avacado cubed, 1/4 of a lime freshly squeezed, and 1/2 Tbs chopped cilantro.
