Aztec Chicken

This recipe for Aztec chicken has been floating around the internet for at least a couple of years and I honestly don't know who to attribute it to, but I first got it from a homeschool mom named Melanie off the Sonlight Curriculum forums. Aztec chicken is a mexican dish, and it is truly easy. If you have the ingredients on hand ahead of time, all you do is layer them and turn the crockpot on. No chopping, slicing or dicing! Leftovers are wonderful either by themselves or rolled into a warmed tortilla shell.

Layer the following ingredients in your crockpot:

2 cans of black beans, undrained (or if you make your own beans, about 2 cups)
large bag of frozen corn
about 3-4 cups of cooked chicken strips or cubes
medium sized jar of salsa

Turn on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6. During the last half hour of cook time, add an 8 oz package of cream cheese. Cut the cream cheese in chunks, and push them slightly under the surface of the salsa. When cook time is finished, stir all ingredients together well.

Serve over rice and sprinkle cheese on top. Voila!
