It has been a while since I've shared a yummy recipe with you, so I thought tonight would be a good night to do it. For dinner this evening we had Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken, and oh my gracious it was delicious! And healthy too. Oh, and did I mention it is easy, easy, easy to make? Do I have your attention now?
Who else out there loves their crock pot as much as I do? It's a gift from Heaven. A mommy's best friend. Can I get an Amen? But as much as I love my crock pot and could go on and on about how wonderful it is, I don't use mine a whole lot, and that's just crazy! That's going to change for sure.
Anyhow, let's talk about some Santa Fe Chicken. I wasn't sure how this recipe would turn out {you never know when you're cooking a healthy meal if it will taste good}, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had great flavor!
Here is the recipe from Gina's Weight Watchers Recipes:
Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken:
Serve over rice with chopped scallions, fresh cilantro, fat free sour cream and reduced fat cheddar. {We ate it on top of white rice and it was so good!}
Servings: 8, Size: 9.85 oz, Prep time: 5 minutes, Weight Watchers Points: 3, Calories: 171.9, Fat: 1.6 g, Fiber: 3.8 g
- 24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast
- 14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
- 15 oz can black beans
- 8 oz frozen corn
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro {wow, that stuff is strong when you're cutting it!}
- 14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper {to taste}
- salt to taste
Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in your crock pot
. Season chicken breast with salt and lay on top. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and seasoning. Serve over rice {extra points}.
Mr. Noah loved it! I was so happy to see the little guy dig into it the way he did. And he even fed himself with the new fork I got him! I am so proud of him.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Yummo!! That looks fantastic! We're gonna have to try that. I hardly ever use my crockpot either, and I really should - esp now that it is starting to warm up and our stove gets the whole kitchen boiling hot. Thanks for sharing that! And kudos to Josh for the e-mail button. I am way impressed. Haha - now I have a good excuse to get James cracking on developing some blog updates for me. :-)
I'll give you an amen on the crock pot! It is indeed very nice to have with little ones. That dish looks so yummy! I like that little fork you got for Noah. I think I might try one of those with Grace. Thank you so much for sharing! Have a good night!
I almost forgot. I know I already said that I like your e-mail icon, but I'll say it again. I really like it. It's so cute!
I printed that recipe off a few weeks ago, but still haven't tried it. Glad to know it's good!
Oh my gosh, that looks so good! I will make that next week!
Thanks for checking on me, still feeling a little cruddy. I'm holding out all hope that next week things turn a 180. I'm ready to feel great in my second trimester (which starts next week)!
This looks so good!
This looks awesome thanks for sharing!
DEFINITELY will be giving this one a try. Looks amazing!
Okay, I want this now!! Definitely will be making this in the very near future. Thanks for linking up! :)
