Yummy recipe

I never post recipe's for one good reason....I'm not a good cook! LOL. Ok, I CAN cook some things...like my world-famous stuffed shells...but I'm always on the search for new recipes. This week I wanted to do something with black beans! I found a great recipe, that was easy...and in a crockpot even! We tried it tonight and it was very yummy.

1 Can (15oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 Cans (15oz) whole kernal corn, drained
1 cup bottled thick and chunky salsa, your favorite brand
5 or 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2lbs)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
In a 3 1/2 to 5 quart slow cooker, mis together
the black beans, corn and 1/2 cup of the salsa.
Top with the chicken breasts, then pour
the remaining salsa over the chicken.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours,
or until the chicken is tender and white throughout.
Do not overcook, or chicken will be dry.
Sprinkle cheese on top
Cover and cook until the cheese melts, about
5 to 15 minutes.
Serves 6.
So...enjoy, let me know what you think!

I think I'm going to try this sometime soon! I have some chicken in the freezer I really need to use.

Oh and every time I see your blog header it really does make me smile!

Does it really serve 6?? How many servings did I eat? This family size bag of Doritos that I'm currently working on says there are 19 servings per container. There's no way I would share with 18 other people. This is Nacho Cheese, people...it's MY cheese!

ahahhahahah....we KNOW who you are! It totally could have been another "James" though...so you only did it to yourself. THINK, honey, THINK!
And, I only made it with 4 breasts. Those were hard enough to get in there!
