A simple supper that is effortless to toss together in the morning and takes just minutes to finish up at supper time for a bowlful of satisfying flavor.
To begin, place 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken in your crockpot. You can use breasts or thighs – whichever you have on hand.
Dice an onion and green bell pepper and toss them in onto the chicken.
Sprinkle in a half teaspoon of smoked paprika.
A teaspoon of ground cumin.
A teaspoon of salt.
And a teaspoon of Ancho chile powder.
Over the top, pour in a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and a can of diced tomatoes with lime & cilantro. If you can’t find the tomatoes with lime and cilantro, just use two cans of the other.
Spread those over the top of the chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When you come home, your house is going to be smelling ahhhh-mazing.
Grab two forks and simply pull the chicken apart to shred it.
Add in a can of black beans that have been rinsed and drained, as well as 4 cups of cooked rice. Use white or brown rice, whichever you prefer.
Stir those in and cover again. Let this cook together for a few minutes – until the rice and beans are heated through. Go pet the dog, check homework or set the table in the meantime.
Serve topped with some shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey-Jack, etc.) and some guacamole or sour cream.
Enjoy!
