How to Make It

  • Grease the inside of a 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix together, lime juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and one teaspoon each of cumin, garlic salt and chili powder to form a paste.
  • Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, then set them aside.
  • In a skillet on the stove top, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the diced peppers and onions until they are soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste then add the butter to the skillet.
  • Slowly add the chicken stock, deglaze the pan, then stir in 1 teaspoon each of cumin, minced garlic, chili powder and parsley. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Mix in the rice, cream of chicken soup, salsa, cilantro, black beans, corn and chopped cilantro.
  • Pour everything into the slow cooker.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the mixture.
  • Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  • Right before serving, remove the lid and sprinkle shredded cheese on top then replace the lid for just a few minutes or until melted.
  • Serve with a scoop of sour cream or guacamole (optional); garnish with chopped chives or diced scallions prior to serving to give some color and extra flavor. Enjoy!
