Wednesday - What's for Dinner? Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Today is one of those very busy days - dentist appointments, ball games, you name it and it's happening today. It is also starting to get cool outside and we've been wanting to eat warm things for dinner. This recipe is easy, quick and very very good. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
• 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
• 2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
• 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
• 3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
• sour cream (optional)
• crushed tortilla chips (optional)

Directions:

1. Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.
2. Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

YUM! I would totally make this and I have been looking for new recipes for my slow cooker!

I see this in a lot of recipes. What are chili beans? I've looked in my store and I don't find anything called that.

Theresa, I found Chili beans with the other canned beans at our Publix...they were called Chili beans, too...by pinto and kidney beans, etc...
