Ingredients

    2 boneless, skinless chicken Breasts
    1 small can Cream of Chicken Soup
    1.5 cup Swanson Chicken Broth 99% Fat Free
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 cups mushrooms, chopped or sliced
    1 can red kidney beans
    2 medium red potatoes, diced
    Salt, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, and basil to taste (Start with 1 tbsp each, except salt, which should just be a few dashes)

Directions

Makes 6 servings.

1. Dump chopped onion and mushrooms into crockpot.

2. Season chicken breasts with seasonings above, and place in crockpot on top of onion and mushrooms.

3. Whisk cream of chicken soup and chicken broth in a bowl, and pour over chicken.

4. Add the beans (you can use any kind, I usually use Great Northern White, but ran out).

5. Set the crockpot on high for 6 hours, or low for 8. About an hour before serving, take the chicken pieces out, and shred with two forks. Put them back in, stir well, and let the last hour help meld the flavors.

I really enjoy this with some warm Portuguese rolls with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, or some other kind of crusty bread.

You can also add other veggies if you like, such as carrots, bell peppers, peas (add at the very end before serving if using canned or frozen), even diced tomatoes! Just add a little more water or chicken broth if need be.

Yummy!
