Thursday Taste

I love trying new recipes, specially since I have started Weight Watchers. I find it fun to scour different blog spots that have easy, healthy recipes. I'm sure a lot of you have already discover skinnytaste.com and so have I! I love it because Gina has all the recipes calculated for the Weight Watchers Points Plus Program, which makes it super easy! We tried one of her recipes last night and it was delicious! We even have left overs tonight that we will use for tacos. The best part of this recipe is it is cooked in the crock pot, does it get any easier?

Crock pot Santa Fe Chicken

• 24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast
• 14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
• 15 oz can black beans
• 8 oz frozen corn
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
• salt to taste

Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and lay on top. 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. Adjust salt and seasoning. Serve over rice (extra its).
