Mexican Chicken Stew - Slow Cooker

This is about the easiest, low budget, healthy meal that I have ever made! You literally dump everything in the crock pot and walk away! It is perfect for a busy schedule or if you are going to be away and will need a healthy, filling meal when you get home. If you want to find more great recipes like this one, check out Thegraciouspantry.com - that is where this recipe came from. See below for portion control information (according to 21 Day Fix and Insanity Max:30 meal plans).

1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1/2 Green

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lb raw chicken breasts
  • 1 (12 oz) jar of your favorite clean salsa
  • 1 lb frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 lb frozen, mixed bell beppers
  • 3 corn tortillas, ripped or shredded by hand
  • Olives and yogurt for garnish
Directions:
  • Place the chicken in the bottom of the pot, and pour everything else over it (cover and store in the fridge overnight if needed)
  • Place pot/insert in your slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours
  • Note that the tortillas will not look very pretty after cooking. But they do add a nice flavor
  • When cooking is finished, simply use a wooden spoon to stir everything up and break apart the chicken
  • Serve garnished with some sliced, black olives and/or a dab of plain yogurt
