Chicken and Black Bean Casserole

Posted by Michele at 5:58 PM

This is one of those 'toss it in the crockpot' recipes that makes your house smell DIVINE.

In the crockpot, put:
2 frozen chicken leg/thigh quarters
1 15oz can of black beans (undrained)
6-8 small tomatoes, quartered
2 carrots, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, diced

Cook on low for 6 hours.  It will create its own stock.  Add:
1 cup basmati rice
1 packet of Goya Sazon con culantro y achiote (optional... you could just add salt if you want, but I love the Sazon spices)

Cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the rice is done.  (Alternately, you could cook the rice on the side with the broth once you get home if you couldn't just add the rice mid-cycle.)

Mix well and serve with crusty bread and a side salad.
