Ingredients
1lbchicken breast
3cansGreat Northern Beansdrained and rinsed
8clovesgarlicminced
2cupsfrozen corn
4ozcanned green chiles(don't drain)
2tbsp lime juice
1tbspcumin
2tbsp chili powder
½tspsalt
1canfull fat coconut milk
lime wedges and cilantro(optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with all remaining ingredients (except lime wedges and cilantro). Note: It will look like there is not enough liquid. The chicken and corn will release liquid as they cook, so don't worry!
Cook on low for 8 hours. Remove the slow cooker lid during the last 30 minutes.
After 8 hours, shred chicken in the slow cooker, stir everything together, and serve! Top with lime wedges and cilantro.
To Make It a Freezer Meal:
Add all ingredients to a gallon sized zip lock bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw completely in the fridge before cooking so the chicken will absorb the flavors! Once completely thawed, dump everything in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. Remove the slow cooker lid during the last 30 minutes. After 8 hours, shred chicken in the slow cooker, stir everything together, and serve! Top with lime wedges and cilantro.
