Healthy eating doesn’t need to be complicated. Every savvy Mom should have a few one pot meals or crock pot dishes in their cooking arsenal. This crock pot Santa Fe Chicken is so easy to throw together in the morning and enjoy after a long day. Change up the ingredients to suit your crew, serve over rice, whole wheat pasta, a baked potato or even throw into a tortilla for a simple soft taco. The possibilities are endless, but your time probably isn’t so here is a quick recipe to help.
Ingredients
- 1 - 14.4 oz. can of diced tomatoes
- 1 - 4 oz. can of diced green chilis
- 1 - 15 oz. can of black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 - 15 oz. can of corn, drained & rinsed
- 2 c. chicken stock
- 4 green onions, chopped and divided
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 chicken breasts
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in the crock pot. Only use half the green onions at this time and leave the chicken breasts set aside.Mix everything together. Rinse the chicken breasts, salt and pepper and place on top of the tomato mixture. Cook on low for 8 hours. An hour before it is finished, remove the chicken to shred with a fork. Add back in the shredded chicken and the remaining green onions. Taste and salt and pepper as needed.
This makes ample leftovers in our house. I freeze some and use the rest for lunches over the next couple of days. Enjoy!
