Santa Fe Chicken (Crockpot Meal)

I found recipe and image here.


 Ingredients:

15 oz can white beans
15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 - 1 1/2 cup bottled chunky salsa
1 pkg of chicken breasts (1.65 lb)
5 oz of low fat cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 cup shredded cheddar

Directions:

1. In a slow cooker, mix beans, and 1/2 cup salsa. Top with chicken and pour remaining salsa over the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 3 hours) until chicken is tender and cooked throughout.

2. Shred chicken with a fork or any type of utensil you want. Add cream cheese. Stir and let cream cheese melt into the mixture to create a creamy sauce.

3. For serving: I served the chicken & sauce over rice with cheddar cheese, green onions and a little sour cream on top. Or you can serve these as tacos with cheese and a couple of taco fixings such as lettuce and tomato. We also just like to eat it with tortilla chips.
