Crockpot (slow cooker) salsa chicken :)

I feel slightly odd posting this because a lot of the recipes here seem super fancy and, well, just better, lol. But this is a standby at our house, and it is easy. I love to make this on one of our busy days full of extracurricular activities and things.

I got the recipe from a sweet friend on sewing mamas (another forum I frequent) a while back. Copied from her original post of the recipe:

"Crock-Pot Taco Chicken
2-3 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans Rotel tomatoes (I use the milder ones-you can even just use plain diced tomatoes)
1 pkg. taco seasoning
2 cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed

In a Crock-pot, add all ingredients and cook on high 4-5 hours or low 8-10 hours. At that point, take the lid off the crock-pot. Turn it up to high, let it cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring frequently. This will help it to be less soupy. Shred the chicken with two forks. Serve over tortilla chips or in taco shells with all the fixings: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, sour cream, salsa, etc."

I like to serve this as she suggests or over rice or over noodles or on a hoagie roll as a sandwich. seriously yummy. I probably make this once or twice a month, but we have it different every time.

Forgot to add to it that I normally use black beans instead of the kidney, but either is good! I just love how it can be changed up too - you can put different seasoning packets in besides taco as well.

Ooh. I'm actually on the lookout for recipes that can be made in the crockpot, that don't use canned soup!!! thanks!!
