Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili



There is nothing like a lazy Sunday when you have a meal cooking all day in the crock pot and the aroma of food is in the air, or coming home from work on a weeknight and having dinner ready when you get home. I love my slow cooker and this chicken chili is a delicious, low point, high fiber meal. It's so easy to make and it is great over rice, with multi-grain chips, topped with low fat cheddar cheese or low fat sour cream. This makes a lot and it is even better the next day for lunch!

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 16-oz can black beans

  • 10 oz package frozen corn kernels

  • 24 oz (3-4) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • chili peppers, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Combine beans, onion, chili peppers, corn, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder and taco seasoning in a slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover. 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. Top with fresh cilantro. Also try it with low fat cheese and sour cream (extra points).

FOR FREEZING:
All ingredients were put in a freezer Ziploc bag and frozen. Just put some water in the bottom of the slow cooker in the morning, put the contents in and it will be ready in time for dinner.  NOTE: It could be higher than your slow cooker, if that is the case you can use some foil to cover the slow cooker and keep the heat in, until the Chili cooks down some.
