Chicken Taco (in a Crockpot)

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can of black beans
1 cup whole kernal corn
1-1/2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 cup chopped onion
1 pkg of Taco seasoning
1 cup salsa

Throw it all in a crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.  Serve straight out the pot, or with tortillas, or taco shells, or on a bed of lettuce, or on a potato!  The options are endless! 

If you are doing WW it's 8 servings for 3.5 points!

Sounds yummy!

I make an alternative version of this:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (frozen is ok!)

1 can of black beans, drained

1 can of corn, drained (I usually just use 2 cans of beans instead)

1 jar of salsa

1 brick of cream cheese (low-fat or FF is ok)

Chicken goes on the bottom of the crock pot.  Dump the salsa, beans and corn on it.  Leave it on high for 4-6 hours.  Put the brick of cream cheese on top for the last 30 mins of cooking.  Before serving stir--the chicken will shred and the cream cheese will make the whole thing creamy.  The chicken ends up really moist.  Makes a great filling for enchiladas.  I've even topped it with shredded cheese and make it into a tortilla pizza.

This was incredible. My family loved it and so did the girls at work. It really made a large batch and it seems to freeze really well.
