Creamy Chicken and Black Beans

from: Tara Flake

Original Recipe: Crock Pot Chicken W/ Black Beans and Cream Cheese...yum!

Ingredients:
4 -5 boneless chicken breasts (I've also used less)
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans (drained, but not rinsed)
1 (15 ounce) can corn (drained, or an equal amount of frozen corn)
1 (15 ounce) jar salsa, your favorite kind
1 TBSP minced garlic (or less, we LOVE garlic)
a few good shakes of cumin and ground red pepper or chili powder (for heat)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
cliantro for garnish

Directions:

1. Place 2-4 frozen, yes, frozen, boneless chicken breasts into a crock pot.
2. Add beans, salsa, corn and spices.
3. Keep in crock pot on high for about 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked.
4. Add 1 package of cream cheese, cut up (just throw it on top!) and let sit for about 1/2 hour.
5. Stir in the now-melted cream cheese and shred or cut the chicken and serve over rice or egg noodles. Sprinkle with cilantro if you like it.
