Crockpot Salsa Chicken And Black Bean Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place one can of beans and 2 cups of chicken broth in a blender and puree. Place bean puree in crock pot.
• Into the crock pot, add remaining beans and chicken broth along with the tomatoes, bell pepper, green chiles, cumin, chile powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, corn (optional), mushrooms (optional), salsa, and chicken breasts.
• Set slow cooker to high for 4 hrs or to low for 6-8 hrs (I do mine on high).
• After it's done, remove and shred chicken (with 2 forks - it will just fall apart) and return it to the crock pot. Add the cilantro and scallions.
• Adjust to taste with salt and cumin (and hot sauce if you like).
• Serve hot with lime wedges and a dollop of sour cream if you wish.

Steps:

• In an electric food processor or blender, combine beans, broth, salsa, and cumin. Blend until fairly smooth.
• Heat the bean mixture in a saucepan over medium heat until thoroughly heated.
• Ladle soup into 4 individual bowls, and top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream and 1/2 tablespoon green onion.

Steps:

• For salsa, in a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients; refrigerate until serving. Combine the brown sugar, pepper sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper; rub over both sides of chicken. , Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°. Serve with salsa.

Steps:

• Place chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and onion powder. Top evenly with salsa and green chile peppers.
• Cook on Low until chicken breasts are very tender, 6 to 8 hours. Shred chicken breast with 2 forks.

Steps:

• If making this into a freezer meal, label a gallon-sized resealable freezer bag with the title of the recipe and how to long to cook in the slow cooker. (If you aren't making it into a freezer meal, jump ahead to step #5).
• Dump the black beans, corn, salsa, taco seasoning, and water in the resealable bag and mix until all the ingredients are combined. Add the chicken breasts and zip the bag closed. Place in the freezer until ready to use (it will last in the freezer for up to 90 days).
• When ready to cook, remove bag from freezer and place in fridge overnight so that it can thaw. Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump bag ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-7 hours (until chicken is completely done).
• Shred meat and serve however you want (in tacos, burritos, nachos, salads, etc). Garnish with cheese, sour cream, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce.
• If you aren't making this into a freezer meal, dump black beans, corn, taco seasoning, and water in crock pot and mix together until seasoning is dissolved. Place chicken breasts on top and spread salsa on chicken. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Shred chicken and serve however you want (in tacos, burritos, nachos, salads, etc).
