No-Name Chicken...

This recipe stared out a few weeks ago. 

I had a Mothers Day Craft Fair that I was doing with a few friends...

Jody from TheSmithHotel and Rayna from Gotcha' Covered

and I knew after a day making bank (um...yeah...I made $3...) and sitting in the sun I was not going to want to think about dinner when I walked through the door...
...and my husbands good for a lot of things but thinking of dinner before he plans on eating it is not one of his specialties!  ...

So I looked in my fridge and saw a whole chicken and a jar of salsa sitting right next to it...
hmmm.
and thus the Chicken with No Name was born...
names I'm thinking about...

Salsa Chicken, Tex-Mex Chicken, Mexi-Chicken, No Name Chicken
1 whole Chicken (or 2-4 chicken breasts)
1/2 jar of salsa
1 tsp cumin powder
1 can of black beans, drained (optional)
1 can of corn, drained (optional)

place all in crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours...

I pulled all the chicken off the bones and we had chicken tacos...

you could make some rice and just serve this over rice, I made another version yesterday with just chicken breast since that's what I had...and we used the chicken for taco salad bar....

Add a block of cream cheese and some garlic and you have my Aztec Chicken. We love this recipe. You can't screw it up.

Sounds yummy. I vote for naming it Salsa Chicken!
