Ingredients
4 Frozen Chicken Breasts (or 20 Frozen Chicken Tenders)1 Can Green Giant No Salt Added Whole Kernel Corn1 Can Nature's Promise Organic Dark Kidney Beans1 Can Nature's Promise Organic Black Beans1 Can Tomatos with No Salt Added, Diced1 Onion, Diced1 Green Pepper, Diced1 Can Tomato Sauce with No Salt Added2 Tablespoons Chili Powder2 Teaspoons Onion Powder2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder1 Teaspoon Paprkia1 Teaspoon Ground Oregano
Directions
Place frozen chicken breasts (or tenders) in slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, and stir gently, leaving chicken on bottom. Cook on high for 4-5 hours. If you used chicken breasts, you can remove them and shred or chop them and add back to stew. I leave the chicken tenders in as they are, and mix the stew up well.

Sometimes I add a small can of diced chili peppers to spice it up, but I did not include in this recipe because the sodium is deceiving. If you rinse them well, most of the salt rinses off, but I have no accurate nutritional info for this.

If you use fresh chicken, cook on high 3-4 hours.

Makes 12 servings, 3/4 cup each.

     Good. More chili than Mexican Chicken Stew though. - 11/25/08

     WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! :)

    I thought this was a really great dish, especially since I'm a weekend cooker for the week. Will probably add chiles or jalapenos next time, but definitely a yummy, easy dish for someone like me that needs to watch her sodium. THANK YOU! - 2/12/12

     This recipe was very good, love the low sodium and the fact that I could put in the crockpot, go do something else and come back to it later. - 11/1/09

     This is a good alternative to restaurant Mexican..I love that it is low sodium! I added a chopped jalapeno to the mix and it spiced it up nicely. - 5/30/09

     Would love to try this but it doesn't say the can sizes. The no salt added tomato sauce comes in different sizes.... - 2/14/19

     Really good dish! First day on low sodium food plan. Added fresh squeezed lime juice, cilantro, and home made guacamole (no salt added) @ the table. Served over brown rice & shredded greens. - 1/19/13

     Thank you for posting this low sodium dish. It was really easy and yummy. I love how you use frozen chicken (I tend to forget to take the chicken out of the freezer in time to set up my crock pot in the morning.) I served it over brown rice. - 4/27/12
