Andrew's Aunt Carol (hi!) brought this meal to us right after Elsie was born. Yum! It has since become a favorite in our house. It is healthy, super easy to make, and low calorie (5 WW points per serving when served on rice)!
Here is what you need:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
2 cans of whole kernel corn (can be a frozen bag)
2 cans of black beans (sometimes I make mine from the dried beans)
Taco Seasoning (see below)
Sour cream
Brown Rice
Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of a crockpot. Put corn, black beans, and seasonings on top. Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove chicken breasts and shred with a fork. Return them to the crock pot. Before serving, mix in 3/4 to 1 cup of sour cream and allow to heat through.
Serve on cooked rice. We also like this in a wrap! Yum!
Now . . . I must have a word with you on Taco Seasonings. Read the label. Most taco seasonings contain ingredients that aren't good (MSG and hydrogenated fat - to name a few). You can make your own very easily.
Here is my mom's recipe for taco seasoning.
2 tsp instant minced onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cornstartch
1/2 tsp crushed dried red pepper
1/2 tsp instant minced garlic
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
Sorry - this picture also includes our other sides for the day (baked beans and cheesy cauliflower).
