Description

Directions

• 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.
