Santa Fe Chicken

A new crockpot recipe! The end result has a fair bit of liquid, so it would work well over rice, or strain with a slotted spoon well before you put in a tortilla.

Ingredients:
24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast
14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
15 oz can black beans
8 oz frozen corn
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth
3 scallions, chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced (original recipe called for 1 tsp garlic powder)
half a chopped onion (original recipe called for 1tsp onion powder)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
salt to taste

Directions:
Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and lay on top. 

Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and seasoning to taste. Serve over rice or tortillas and your favorite toppings- like sour cream and cilantro.
