Santa Fe Chicken

This is an easy weeknight meal that you can throw in the crock pot the night before and forget about until dinner time. It is low fat shredded chicken with corn tomatoes and black beans. Serve over rice with some scallions, cilantro, sour cream, and some reduced fat cheese. Leftovers make great burritos!
