Poultry and freezer basics inspired this deliciously healthy combo. I have a hard time getting my family to eat healthy, but they have no problem cleaning their plates when I serve this dish! —Tracy Long, Bellwood, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) reduced-fat condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1-1/2 cups (about 7-1/2 ounces) frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup uncooked instant brown rice
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, reduced-fat sour cream, cubed avocado, chopped cilantro, and sliced ripe olives, optional

Directions

  1. In a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker, combine first five ingredients. Cook, covered, on low until chicken is tender, 3-4 hours. Remove chicken from slow cooker. Cool slightly; shred chicken with two forks. Return meat to slow cooker. Add corn and rice; cook, covered, on low 1 hour longer.
  2. If desired, serve with cheese, sour cream, avocado and olives.
