Yummy Wednesday - Cilantro Lime Chicken with Corn and Black Beans

We recently decided to try an experiment...  Hubby and I haven't been a fan of too many slow-cooker recipes in the past, but when I came across a "pin" on Pinterest for making 8 meals in a hour, that you then freeze, and cook in the slow-cooker, I thought it could be worth a try!  We've now tried 5 of them - and 3 have been delicious!  (The other 2 were good, just not favorites.)

Feel free to check out www.sixsistersstuff.com for more ideas!

So here's the latest:

Cilantro Lime Chicken with Corn and Black Beans


You'll need:

1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
Juice from 2 limes
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 (16 oz) bag frozen corn
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp cumin

salt and pepper to taste

 

To Make: 

1.  Place all ingredients in a resealable gallon-sized freezer bag. Mix together and zip bag closed.

 

2.  When ready to eat, remove from freezer and thaw in fridge for 24 hours.

 

3.  Cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4 hours).

 

4.  Serve with tortillas and toppings such as with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.

 

Makes 8 servings.

Enjoy!

QotD:  Was today typical?  Why or why not?  Yep...  I'd say so.  Work, work, work.  The only non-typical part was going to bed at 10:15pm.  :)
