1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 cups chopped cooked chicken (optional)

Cover; cook on LOW 6-8 hours. 2. Stir in chicken, if desired. Ladle into bowls. Top each serving with cheese and tortilla chips. Sour cream and cilantro are also good to garnish it with.

Crockpot mexi-chicken
4 costco chicken breasts—straight from the freezer
2 cans corn drained or two large handfuls of frozen corn
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups salsa
4 garlic cloves minced (or a few teaspoons of the minced garlic in the jar from the fridge)
2 tsp. cumin
Salt and pepper
8 oz. cream cheese
Spray crockpot with non-stick spray. Add all ingredients except cream cheese. No need to stir, just dump in and close the lid. Cook on high at least four hours, or low for at least 8. Just before serving, open and shred chicken with a fork—it should shred easily. Put cream cheese on top and close lid long enough to soften the cream cheese. Mix altogether and serve rolled in warm tortillas. VERY GOOD!!
