This is a quick and healthy meal prepared in the slow cooker or Crock-Pot. Watch for sodium/sugar in the canned items. It is best to get the low sodium, no salt, no sugar (or artificial sweetners) added varieties.
1 can of dark beans (I used Adzuki, but you could use kidney, black, etc)--don't drain
1 can of white beans (I used Northern, but you could use any white bean)--don't drain
1 can of corn (frozen or fresh is fine too), drained
1 jar of salsa (or you could make this fresh)
1 chipotle pepper (optional, but it adds a nice smokey flavoring)
3-4 chicken breast (frozen is fine)
Put chicken in slow cooker. Mix all other ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours. Remove chicken, shred or cube it, and mix back into mixture. Serve with light or f/f sour cream, r/f cheese, etc. We had ours over a baked potato with a light amount of 75% r/f cheese and light sour cream. It was great!
