• Freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 cups cooked rice

Directions

1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 5 quart or larger slow cooker.
2. Drain the black beans and add them to the slow cooker along with the ½ jar of salsa and corn.
3. Add 1/4 cup water, plus the taco seasoning and cracked pepper.
4. Give the ingredients a brief stir to distribute the spices.
5. Secure the lid on your slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. After 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, carefully remove the lid of the slow cooker.
