Cooking Time6 hr 30 min

Cooking MethodSlow Cooker

Ingredients

1 red onion, chopped
1 can (16 ounces) black beans
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
10 ounces (1 package) frozen corn kernels
2 cans (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes w/chilies (check the spice level- I used mild)
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 or 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

Combine beans, onion, tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, chili powder, and taco seasoning in your slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover with a thin layer of the sauce and beans.
Cook on high for 6 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken and shred in a separate bowl. Place shredded chicken into the slow cooker and stir in to combine with everything else.
Cover and place slow cooker on "warm" setting for 30 minutes to allow chicken to soak in the chili flavor
