Ole'!

Picante Chicken on the menu tonight.  It was another delicious crock pot meal that actually involved even less work than crock pot meals normally do.  I literally opened some packages and cans, turned on the crock pot (important step!), stirred a bit throughout the day, and ended up with tender chicken that was to die for by dinner time.  Definitely make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.  I have erred in the past by using both skin & bones (!).  Mistake that makes for more work by yours truly. :)  I could not find Campbell's Pepper Jack soup so I substituted with their Cheddar soup.  The chicken still came out splendidly, probably better without the extra spiciness.  Also, I did not buy white corn, only yellow.  I'm sure it tastes just the same.  Enjoy!!

8 oz picante sauce

Place chicken in bottom of crock-pot; then black beans, then corn.  Combine picante w/ can of soup.  Pour over all.  Cook on low for 8 hours.  Divide into 6 servings.
