Fiesta Chicken

In honor of Cinco de Mayo (which is tomorrow!!!) I thought I would post a couple of mexican recipes that have caught my eye.  I thought I'd post them early so you could use one of them for your Cinco de Mayo party/celebration!!!  What? Like you don't make up excuses to have a party with lots of yummy food?!?  Well you need to start.  Celebrate Cinco de Mayo by making this yummy recipe or the one to follow.  Heck, throw a pinata in there and call it an all out FIESTA!!!! :-)

4 chicken breasts, frozen or thawed
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) jar of your favorite salsa
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

Take 4 frozen, yes, frozen (or thawed), boneless chicken breasts put into crock pot. Add 1 can of black beans, drained, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of corn drained. Keep in crock pot on low for about 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked.

Add 1 package of cream cheese (just throw it on top!) and let sit for about 1/2 hour. It may look at little strange at this point. Don't worry. Stir in the cream cheese.

Serve over rice or in warm flour tortillas.
