Introduction

This is a recipe that I found on Pinterest. I had just bought chicken thighs and needed something I could put together in the crockpot since it's so hot today. http://thelarsonlingo.blogspot.com/2011/05
/easiest-dinner-ever.html. Keep in mind that I have had bariatric surgery so the 1/2 cup serving is actually a large serving for me. This is a recipe that I found on Pinterest.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs bonless skinless chicken thighs

2 cups fresh frozen corn

1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained & rinsed

1 (14.5-oz) can Rotel tomatoes and chiles

8 oz package cream cheese

Tips

This appealed to me because there is some good carbs, but also quite a protein punch. It's a very simple recipe and you could change the flavor and heat up by substituting salsa for the Rotel.

Directions

Put frozen chicken in the crock pot.
Put Cream cheese on top of the chicken.
Dump in the Black Beans (make sure they are drained & rinsed!!!)
Dump in the drained corn.
Dump in the Rotel.
Cover and cook 6-8 hours on LOW, stirring every couple hours. When cooked, turn off heat and allow to sit for 30-40 minutes to thicken. Serve over salad, rice or with tortilla chips, if desired.
