Crock Pot Salsa Chicken With Brown Rice

As most of you already know I have a love affair with my crock pot! :) I am always experimenting and coming up with new recipes to throw in there.

The other night I tried another variation of salsa chicken. I had made this once before, but never wrote down the recipe so I just kind of winged it. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. In fact, my hubby requested the leftovers two nights in a row (it makes a lot!). Fine by me.


- Boneless skinless chicken breast (I used 4)
- One can of Kidney beans
- One can of Black beans
- One can of cream of chicken soup
- One can of corn 
- One container of salsa (did you catch the clearance tag on the salsa? It was only a $1.26 at Target!)
- One 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (Mexican style works well)
- Brown rice (we made enough for 6 servings)

Directions:

Place your chicken in the crock pot, slather the cream of chicken soup on top of it and then pour in your beans, corn, salsa and diced tomatoes. I drained the beans, corn and tomatoes before putting them in. It is going to look quite soupy until you have mixed your rice in later.


I cooked it on low for 8 hours or until your chicken shreds easily. Then it is as simple as cooking up your rice and mixing the two together.

I like to top it with shredded cheddar cheese and a little bit of sour cream. Corn bread is a good compliment to this meal.

This is obviously  my hubby's plate! I don't put that much cheese on!

The leftovers are also great for stuffing in tortillas and smothering with enchilada sauce! Yum...

  5. We make this same thing! It is one of my hubby's favs! Haven't tried it with cream of chicken soup though. I use cream cheese instead. May have to try your version too:>
