Easy Crock Pot!

I tried this recipe tonight and it was a hit! It also made enough to feed a small army, so we will be having it tomorrow night, too! Tonight I served it over rice. Tomorrow, I think we'll put it in soft tortillas. The best part is that it's an easy crockpot recipe!!

Ingredients
4-5 boneless chicken breasts
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans
1 (15 ounce) can corn
1 (15 ounce) jar salsa, any kind
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
Directions
1. Take 4-5 frozen, yes, frozen, boneless chicken breasts put into crock pot.
2. add 1 can of black beans, drained, 1 jar of salsa, 1 can of corn drained.
3. Keep in crock pot on high for about 4-5 hours or until chicken is cooked.
4. Add 1 package of cream cheese (just throw it on top!) and let sit for about 1/2 hour.
5. All done and enjoy!

Glazed Carrots with Pistachio Nuts

2 to 3 cups of carrots, sliced in diagonal pieces
3 TB packed brown sugar
1 TB butter
1/3 cup chicken broth
pinch of kosher salt
ground pepper
1/4 cup shelled pistachio nuts
parsley

Place carrots, brown sugar, butter, chicken broth, salt & pepper in a small saute pan over medium heat. Bring ingredients to a simmer, stir and reduce heat to medium low for 10 minutes. Add pistachio nuts and continue to cook until carrots are fork tender. Sprinkle parsley and serve!

Yummy! My 2 year old couldn't stop eating these! I got this from a cookbook by Kim Warren.
