Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    2-16 oz. cans of sweet corn, drained
    1-16 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1-16 oz. jar of salsa (mild-hot, your preference)
    3 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 cup low fat or fat free shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Combine corn, black beans and 1/2 cup of salsa in the slow cooker.
Place chicken breasts on top.
Pour remaining salsa over the chicken.
Cover and cook 7-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.
Sprinkle with cheese to serve.
Makes 6 nice size portions.
(The first time I made it it got dry so I didn't drain the corn the second time and it turned out just fine - depends on how hot your slow cooker gets on the low setting).
ENJOY!!

    I saw this recipe on another website with one variation. 30 minutes before serving, throw in an 8 oz pkg oif reduced fat cream cheese instead of the shredded cheese. It's delicious. You can also shred the chicken and eat it as a dip with baked tortilla chips. Yum - 1/17/09

    This was a delicious recipe. I loved it. It makes a ton, so the only thing I might change is the amount of ingredients since it is just my husband and me.

    Very filling!     - 1/6/08
