Slow cooker link-up

Linking up with Dwija and sharing some of our favorite crockable meals:

Firstly our take on Salsa Chicken

2 pounds of skinless/boneless chicken breast
1 cup salsa
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg taco seasoning
small can corn
1/2 can black beans

Place chicken in crockpot
add beans and corn
add taco seasoning
mix salsa and soup and pour over chicken mixture
cover and cook for 6 hours; add 1 cup of sour cream for the last hour if
you prefer a creamy result.

We usually serve over rice but I imagine could be a stand alone dish.


Fruited Chicken and Barley

from Cooking Light: 5 Ingredient  15 minute Cookbook

1 1/4 cups pearl barley, uncooked

6 cups water

2 pounds skinned chicken thighs

1 lg onion, coarsely chopped

1 (8oz ) package dried mixed fruit

1 tbs salt-free Caribbean spice rub

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients in a 4 quart slow cooker; stir well

Cover and cook on high setting 4 hrs or until chicken is tender

Or, cover and cook on high setting 1 hr; reduce to low setting and cook 7 hrs

Neither my husband nor I like spicy food so I substituted nutmeg and poultry seasoning in place of the Caribbean spice rub.
