This recipe uses shop bought salsa to make a really delicious slow-cooked shredded chicken and black-bean Mexican style dish. I had little faith that putting 5 ingredients into the slow cooker would make something that I’d want to do again, but thought I’d give it a try and it was worth the experiment. Just stick in the slow-cooker in the morning and come home to a completely yummy dinner! I’ve based the syn values in this dish on the salsa I used, which was the Dorito’s hot salsa- but please check the syns in the salsa that you are using yourself!
This is a wonderful dish, totally yummy. In the slow cooker the flavours really mingle nicely, plus the chicken is super tender. Going to try it with passata instead of tinned tomatoes; I’m sure it will be just as yummy!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it- I love getting so much taste from such simple ingredients! I’m sure it will be lovely with passata too.
Hi,I’m just wondering. Are the calories noted at the top for the whole recipe. I’m about to make this and looking forward to it.
This was yummy and SO easy!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
Hi, calories are per serving
Hi, do you think a tin of red kidney beans could be used instead of the refried beans ?
