Crock Pot Tex-Mex Chicken

What you will need:
24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast
14 oz can diced tomatoes
4 oz can mild green chilies (or diced jalapenos if you like it a bit more spicy)
15 oz can black beans, drained
8 oz frozen corn
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
14 oz can fat free chicken broth
3 scallions, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
1 tsp pepper
salt to taste

Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and pepper in the crock pot.  Lay chicken breasts on top. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Add salt and adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve over rice, or use as a filler for tacos.  Also good served over lettuce as a taco salad.  Top with scallions or jalapeno if you like it spicy.  :)  Add sour cream or cheese if you've got the calories to spare!  I mixed with eggs in the morning and made a great breakfast burrito.
