Southwestern Chicken and Beans in the Slow Cooker

on

Spicy chicken and beans made easy in the slow cooker!


I love Mexican food.  Mostly so that I have an excuse to eat guacamole.  

This chicken and beans recipe goes great over brown rice or quinoa, and the possibilities for toppings are endless.  My husband loves it with sour cream, cheese, and tortilla chips.  My son always tops it with salsa.  I always have mine with guacamole.

I love this recipe because it's so easy - just throw everything in the crockpot in the morning and then shred the chicken at dinnertime.  That's it. 


Servings: 8
Prep time: 10 minutes

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
30 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained
8 oz zesty Italian dressing

  1. Arrange chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.

ENJOY!
