To be fair, it's Jan's Daughter's Crock Pot Chicken and Salsa, but that just doesn't roll off the tongue. Also to be fair, it's my version of her recipe. Her recipe is also provided below. The only downfall I saw in this recipe is that I was at home while it was cooking. It was really hard to not eat the whole thing before dinnertime. The chicken fell apart and shredded into the rest of the dish and it was awesome!
Jan's Crock Pot Chicken and Salsa
1 package frozen chicken breast
2 cups fresh black beans
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 bag frozen corn
1 jar salsa
1 tblsp cumin
salt and pepper
shredded cheddar cheese
brown rice
plain yogurt
Add chicken, beans, water, corn, salsa, cumin, salt, and pepper to crock pot. Cook on low all day. Serve over brown rice topped with cheddar cheese and yogurt. Seriously. That's it.
Original Recipe
1 package chicken breast
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 jar salsa
1 block cream cheese
rice
Add chicken, beans, corn, and salsa to crock pot. Cook on low all day. About 1 hour before eating, add block of cream cheese and stir to combine. Serve over rice. Personally, I'm going to try this one as a dip one day since the inclusion of cream cheese screams dip to me. I think this and a big bag of tortilla chips is in my future!

I made this yesterday and we had it for dinner tonight. So delicious, so easy! We used your version except I subbed canned beans for fresh. It tastes so good, but is pretty healthy! I couldn't believe how easily the chicken shredded. I think it is going into our rotation.
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it!
I know you haven't posted to this blog in ages, but I still look at it from time to time for inspiration when I'm stuck for what to make. This recipe is my go-to "I don't have any time to even think about making dinner" dinner. It's SO easy and tasty! 5 minutes to trim the chicken and dump everything in the crockpot and another 5 minutes to shred the chicken and that's it. Even when life is crazy, I can handle that :) Thanks again for posting. If you decide to post recipes again, you have a devoted follower!
