Southwest Black Bean Chicken in the Crock Pot

Ok….allrighty then. Who has piles and piles of chocolate candy bars lurking around every corner……just waiting, hoping to have the chance to add themselves to your hips. I know I do and after all the sampling I did yesterday (everyone should get to sample some great treats on Halloween, who are we kidding here) I need one of my great healthy weight loss wonders. This recipe is fantastic. It’s EASY, TASTY, HEALTHY, and uses up my FOOD STORAGE. I take that as a win, win, win, win. It’s flavorful and very hearty. My kids really like it, they eat it over tortilla chips with some cheddar cheese on top. I opt for it rolled in a whole wheat tortilla. I’ve found the combination of whole wheat and healthy protein to be super effective for weight loss. Legumes, beans, lentils….are seriously a super duper way to lose and control your weight. I’ve been trying to incorporate them into our diets as much as I deliciously can. (I don’t enjoy eating food that’s not delicious.) I live in the West where “Western Family” is a great generic brand. The seasoning packet I use for this recipe is wonderful, however I have also tried it with McCormick’s enchilada, or taco seasoning as well.
