new favorite crockpot recipe

i am at home during the day now (which i have loved) and i was watching the ksl show that comes on at 11 studio 5 - anyway, they were talking about a crockpot recipe that did not sound good, but there was a website of this lady who has a recipe for every day of the year. so i found this on her site: 365daysofcrockpot.blogspot.com. the picture on the site did not look good, but i had all the ingredients already so i thought, why not? 

Creamy black bean salsa chicken:
2 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup salsa
1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Place chicken in slow cooker. Pour broth, salsa, corn, beans, and taco seasoning over chicken. Cover and cook on low heat 6-8 hours or on high heat 3-4 hours. Remove chicken and shred. Stir sour cream and cheese into sauce in slow cooker, then put chicken back in. Serve with tortillas, rice, or tortillas or chips. 

~ okay, pete loves this dinner and i did too. i served it with mexican rice and we used the leftovers as a dip with tortilla chips. i am going to make some changes next time: probably a whole cup of sour cream (i realize that is not as healthy, but so tasty) and more cheese - you can never have enough. as for the chicken broth, i don't know if you need that much or any at all because the frozen chicken has enough moisture once it is cooking. plus you can't totally drain the beans and corn. 

enjoy!

I have made this recipe except a half jar of salsa and no broth and no sour cream, still quite yummy! But the sour cream addition does sound quite good....
