My niece recently moved into her first apartment and bought her first Crock Pot. As a full-time teacher, she has been looking for easy, Crock Pot meals to make with her busy schedule. She called me the other day to share this delicious Santa Fe Chicken recipe.Everything can be prepared the night before - pop in the Crock and have a great Mexican meal ready when you get home. Tender, juicy shredded chicken breast is combined with black beans and corn and can be served over rice, as a filling for a burrito, or served with tortilla chips. —Adapted from skinnytaste.comFor more great recipes like this one, visit Comfy Cuisine.
