GO TRY THIS, SO AMAZING!! SO SO YUMMY! EVERYONE INCLUDING DIETER LOVED IT, OF COURSE JEFF AND I BELIEVE ITS OK TO GIVE HIM LOTS TORTILLA CHIPS OR CHEESE IF THAT MEANS HE WILL EAT THE HEALTHY FOOD. THIS IS PROBABLY BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECIPES I HAVE EVER FOUND AND MADE. VERY EASY TOO. NOT ONLY IS IT HEALTHIER, BUT YOU CAN MAKE IT AS HEALTHY AS YOU WANT AND ITS VERY VERSATILE. YOU CAN EAT THIS LIKE JUST A REGULAR SOUP, OR YOU EAT IT LIKE A TACO SOUP SO WITH CHEESE AND TORTILLA CHIPS. AS LEFT OVERS JEFF AND DIETER HAVE EATEN IT AS THE TOPPING OF NACHOS OR IF YOU CAN DRAIN ENOUGH OF THE BROTH YOU CAN PUT IT RIGHT INTO A TORTILLA AND MAKE IT INTO A QUESADILLA OR BURRITO. PLUS, YOU CAN ADD ANY KIND OF VEGGIES YOU CAN THINK OF. I HAD SOME YELLOW SQUASH THAT WAS GOING TO START GOING BAD AND IT WAS PERFECT WITH IT. IN REALITY YOU JUST MIGHT NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH BROTH FOR ADDITIONAL VEGGIES. I USED CANNED BROTH SO 3 CANS WAS JUST ENOUGH OVER THAT THE ADDED SQUASH WAS PERFECT.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 and 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup quinoa (I used a black bean quinoa package)
- 2 large sweet potatoes (1 pound or ~3-1/2 cups)
- 1 can (15.25 ounces) black beans
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) petite diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 packet (1.25 ounces) chili seasoning mix
- 5 cups chicken broth*
- Optional: fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Spray the slow cooker with nonstick spray. Remove the fat from the chicken breasts and put them into the slow cooker along with the rinsed quinoa.
- (I found a black beans seasoned quinoa package which I used and loved, but regular quinoa will work as well, just make sure to rinse it well.)
- Remove the skins and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes adding them into the slow cooker.
- Drain and rinse the black beans and add those in. Add in the undrained petite diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chili seasoning mix, and chicken broth.
- Place on high for 3-5 hours (It took 4 hours on high for my crockpot.)
- Using two forks, shred the chicken and stir all the ingredients together.
- Add salt and pepper and if desired fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately.
