    5-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 ounce -package of taco seasoning (I use reduced sodium), 19 oz -can of black beans rinsed and drained, 12 oz -can of corn rinsed and drained, 2 cups -of salsa, 1 small onion, 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Cook on low about 5-6 hours. (Your cooking time may vary) until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F/74 degrees C).
  • Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, as tacos with low carb tortillas, fat free shredded cheddar cheese and fat free sour cream. 
    * I recommend using a straining spoon if you are adding it to tacos (or it will be too watery). *Adjust ww points accordingly for added toppings *I use regular hard or soft taco shells for the family and they LOVE this meal! No one even suspected it was WW friendly (and 0 points! )
    additional fresh cilantro, fat free sour cream, fat-free cheddar cheese
