Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breasts either frozen or thawed
- 3 cups black beans with a little bit of the reserved liquid* (see prep note below)
- 1 bag frozen corn
- 1 jar of favorite salsa (I use medium Newman's Own because its clean)
- 8 oz Greek yogurt (I use Fage)
- Place chicken in bottom of crock pot and dump everything else on top. Cook on Low for 4-5 hours.
- After its done cooking, remove chicken and shred it. Place it back in pot and add the yogurt and stir. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Serve over brown rice or in lettuce wraps (I'm currently going what I like to call paleo-lite so, no rice for me)
- Devour.
*Black Beans prep note:
So, I stopped using canned veggies for the most part because of the high sodium content and my desire to be as clean as possible. So I purchased a bag of dry Goya black beans instead and cooked them in my crock pot:
- Pour black beans into bottom of crock pot.
- Cover with water up to two inches about the beans.
- Cook on high for about 3 hours until tender.
- One, 16 oz bag of dry beans yields 6 cups of wet beans. Use 3 cups and a bit of reserve liquid for this recipe.
