BACK TO SCHOOL!!  As we prepare for another busy Monday, I decided to start sharing some of my favorite tried and true crock pot and prepare ahead meals.  I find having a Monday Dinner Plan helps me relax when I get home from a long day at Co-op, makes sure my family doesn't have to wait to eat and best of all saves me $$.

 

 

Today I'm sharing what WE are having this Monday.    Salsa Chicken is one of my easiest meals and it serves a crowd.   

 

Salsa Chicken

4-5 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts

1/2 cup water

1 Large Jar your choice of Salsa

1 packet Taco Seasoning (or your own choice of homemade spices)

1 bag frozen corn OR canned corn  (optional)

1 can black beans drained (optional)

 

Rice of your choice  (I like putting jasmine rice in the instapot before I leave.  You can use instant rice, brown rice, whatever.)

 

Place chicken breast (frozen OR fresh) in crockpot with water.

Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours.

Drain crockpot of extra liquid and shred chicken (Y'all I put this in my stand mixer to shred.  Oh LAW!)

add Salsa, and optional corn and beans

Cook for another hour on high

 

Serve over rice.  We like a side of refried beans and cheese.
