Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts (approx. 2 lbs)

- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
- 1 15 oz can corn, drained (or 1½ cups frozen corn)
- 1 4 oz can diced green chilies (or two jalapeños, seeded and chopped)
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Layer on the salsa, crushed pineapple, black beans, corn, green chilies, and salt in that order.
- Cover and set the slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours. The chicken is done when it shreds easily with a fork.

- Serve hot as-is, or over steamed rice, with tortillas, or even as a flavorful filling for tacos or burrito bowls.
