Because J and I have sometimes unpredictable work schedules, I have a nice artillary of simple crockpot meals. It seems kind of silly to write down this recipe since we modify it so often, but we've been asked for it, so we'll share!
Easy Peasy Chicken Tacos
- Frozen chicken breasts (however many you want)
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- 1-2 cups of frozen corn (or a bag of corn)
- Instant Rice or Spanish Rice box (as many servings as you want)
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Cilantro
- Rotelle Tomatoes
- Sauted onions and peppers
- Etc.
Place frozen chicken breasts in crock pot. Pour about an inch of water over the top to help keep them moist. Leave crock pot on low for at least hours, or high for around 4 hours. We've definitely left them in longer! If you so desire, you can add some seasoning with your frozen chicken, or dump in a cup of salsa or enchilada sauce. I usually don't because I would rather not clean it off the crock pot :)
When you get home from work, shred the chicken with a fork. It should practically fall apart! Prepare rice according to package. When we use plain instant rice, sometimes we add rotelle tomatoes or lime juice or cilantro, etc. Add the chicken, black beans, and corn to the rice towards the end of the cooking time and heat until simmering.
Serve with lettuce, cheese, salsa, taco shells, and/or tortilla chips!
