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.
