Slow Cooker Cowboy Chicken

By JimMac

Ingredients

• 3 pounds of chicken - chicken thighs work perfectly, or use breasts or both.
• 1 1/2 cups fresh salsa (see Note)
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 3 teaspoons honey
• 3 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
• 1 (14-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Preparation

Step 1

Arrange chicken pieces in the bottom of a lightly sprayed slow cooker. Spoon the salsa over the chicken. Mix the Worcestershire sauce, honey and mustard and pour over the ingredients in the cooker. Add the beans and cook on low for 6- 8 hours.
To serve: As a dinner entre, serve each guest one piece of chicken on a plate with a whole grain side (such as the rice* below) and spoon sauce over all.
Or serve as tacos: Remove bones and skin from the chicken and shred the meat. Return the meat to the sauce in the cooker and serve spooned into warm tortillas, topped with sliced avocados and sour cream if desired.
