Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken Taco/Salad



My daughter got this easy, delicious recipe from abountifulkitchen.com and wanted to share it with us. Thank you Si Foster! Make sure you use organic products as much as possible.

4 frozen or fresh chicken breast halves
2-3 cups salsa (red or green - we like green)
1 15 ounce can black beans drained
1 small bag of frozen corn or 1 15 ounce can of corn drained
salt and pepper
2 cups grated cheese (cheddar monterey jack, pepper jack if you like spicy)
4 ounces cream cheese - regular or low fat

Instructions
1.  Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
2.  Place the chicken in the cooker, salt and pepper generously.
3.  Pour the salsa over the chicken.
4.  Pour the drained black beans and corn on top of the chicken and salsa.
5.  Cover with lid and cook on low for about 3 1/2 hours.....less time for fresh chicken breasts
6.  Remove lid and gently break up the chicken and put back in the slow cooker.
7.  Spread the grated cheese over the top of the mixture in the slow cooker, and then top with 4 ounces of cream cheese. Cover and let cook for another 1/2 hour.
8. Spoon the mixture over tortilla chips, shredded lettuce or taco shells.
