Salsa Chicken

This is one of the easiest recipes and yet still has a ton of great flavors.  Why go out for Mexican when you can make it at home??  One of the benefits of being a stay-at-home-mom is getting together with other moms and their children for playdates. What does a playdate have to do with this awesome chicken dish you're asking yourself...well, while my daughter was playing with one of her friends I noticed the ingredients for what looked like the beginning of a yummy dinner on the kitchen counter.  After hearing the explanation of the recipe I had to head to the grocery store and try it out myself. delicious!!! The spiciness can be easily controlled depending on the amount of hot sauce & jalapenos you use.  I am not a big fan of crockpot recipes but this one is a "winner winner chicken dinner"!!



in a crockpot add the following:
2-3 chicken breasts (thawed or frozen)
1 small jar of medium salsa (or 1 cup)
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 can corn, drained
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup - 1/2 cup jalapenos, chopped
2-3 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tsp ground cumin

cook on low for 5-6 hours, shred chicken by pulling apart with two forks
serve in soft tortillas or over rice or as a dip with tortilla chips
you can top with extras such as shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, jalapenos

this recipe makes about 6 cups. I divided our leftovers into plastic containers and froze them so the next time we are hungry for salsa chicken it will be ready to go.

enjoy!!!
