Crock Pot Picante Chicken Recipe
Found this recipe at www.skinnytaste.com and altered it a bit. Made it a smaller amount as well. And, I will likely add corn into mine...because it's delicious.
Ingredients
- 1/2 red bell pepper, minced
- 1 (15 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or vegetable stock)

- 1/2 tsp ancho chile powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder

- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, divided
- 2 medium scallions, diced
- cut limes, for serving
- 1 medium haas avocado, sliced
- sour cream, for serving (optional)
Directions
- Take one can of beans and place in the blender along with 2 cups of the chicken broth; puree then add to your slow cooker.
- Add the remainder of the beans and chicken broth into the slow cooker along with tomatoes, diced green chiles, cumin, chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chicken breast, and 3 tbsp of the cilantro. Set slow cooker to HIGH 4 hours or LOW 6 to 8 hours.
