recipe: black bean chicken
This recipe originally came through on my email from sparkpeople.com a few years ago and whenever I'm short on time this is a go-to recipe for us. (I can't believe I haven't posted it here before...) I love that I can cook it with frozen chicken and I always have these things on hand, it seems. Everyone loves it including my super picky children.INGREDIENTS
2 cans black beans, undrained
16 oz jar salsa
1/2 cup brown rice, uncooked
1 lb frozen chicken breast
DIRECTIONS
Place frozen chicken breasts in slow cooker.
Pour beans, rice and salsa over chicken.
Cook low 8-10 hours and serve.
That's it, people! It doesn't get any easier than that.

I make something very similar to this and I love it. I wish the kids liked it more, I'd make it more often. It's definitely a school-year, busy night type of meal.
