  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) corn starch

  1. Into a 4-6 quart slow cooker, add rinsed beans, tomatoes (undrained), corn (undrained), green chilies, salsa and taco seasoning. Stir to combine ingredients.
  2. Using tongs, add the chicken breast to the slow cooker and push down so it is covered by the other ingredients.
  3. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours or on low heat for 6-7 hours.
