Meals for a Hurry - Slow-cooker Chicken with Tomatoes and Black Beans

Everyone needs a go-to meal for those days when you know you're going to be at work for fourteen hours.  Around here, they happen all to often!  That's why I love this recipe.  You throw it all together, let it stew, and then warm deliciousness is ready to eat whenever you do finally make it back home.  Play around with the red peppers, or add some canned green chilies if you're feeling adventurous.  The proportions are under your control.  I do a 1:1 tomato:black bean ratio, but you can mix it up however you want!  I also always make extras for lunches.

Slow-cooker Chicken with Tomatoes and Black Beans
Difficulty: Easy!
Time: 5 minutes of prep, 6 hours in the crock pot
Serves: Entirely in your control!
Requires: Crock pot

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Can(s) of Diced Tomatoes - fire roasted are the best
• Can(s) of Black Beans, rinsed
• Salt, pepper, red pepper to taste
• Optional: Rice, pasta

1. Combine everything and cook on high for six hours.  I tend to mix everything in a bowl the night before so I don't even have to open cans as I run off to work.
2. Serve alone, over rice, or with pasta.  If you make rice, make extra because rice freezes really well!  If you make extras for later, that's less work on future meals.
