Ingredients

    ~2 frozen chicken breasts (no skin/bone)
    ~1 cup canned black beans (do not rinse and name brand doesn't matter)
    ~2 cups frozen corn
    ~4 cups chopped tomatoes
    ~3 cloves minced garlic
    ~2 basil leaves minced very fine
    ~1 large onion (chopped)
    ~2 tbsp chili powder
    ~1 cup water
    ~salt & pepper

Directions

Using a very sharp chef or boning knife cut the frozen chicken into cubes, this will only work if you have a very sharp knife.

Place ALL the ingredients into a large crockpot, set heat to low, cover and let simmer for 6-7 hours. Stir every hour or so to ensure nothing sticks to bottom, if stew seems to thick, you can add a little chicken stock....try not to add more than 1 cup of water as it will affect the flavor and make the stew bland. Add salt & pepper to flavor the stew once the cooking process is complete.

Serve with corn chips and or fresh bread.

    This was good, but not great. I just didn't think the flavor was all that "Wow." - 2/10/10

    Would it affect the recipe's taste to substitute the corn for something else? - 2/8/10

    Incredible!
    This was SO good!! I used "no salt added'' canned corn instead of frozen. I served this to my church homegroup and everyone loved it! I think I might cook my own beans next time to lower the sodium, but that's the only thing i might change. Awesome recipe! - 2/8/10
