Instructions
- Layer the bottom of the slow cooker with the chicken
- Dump the cream of chicken soup, jar of salsa, drained can of corn and drained can of black beans on top.
- Cook on HIGH for 4 hours. Before the end, make sure the chicken is cooked enough.
- About one hour into the slow cooker cycle, you may optionally stir all the ingredients together, and make sure the chicken is all submerged in the sauce.
- Once the slow cooker cycle is through, cook up your rice.
- You can serve directly from crockpot over the rice, and garnish with the cheese, cilantro and sour cream.
OR
(preferred method) transfer the chicken and sauce to baking dish and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Put under the broiler and melt the cheese, until its slightly browned.
Remove from broiler and serve over rice.
Top with cilantro and sour cream as desired.
Notes
If you want it less creamy, and more tomato tasting, skip the can of cream of chicken and let the salsa provide most the flavor. You could add onions too. Be creative...
