Ingredients

3 cups chicken broth
1.5 cups converted long-grain white rice
0.5 large white onion, sliced
1 (24 ounce) jar salsa
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 (1 ounce) packet dry taco seasoning mix, divided
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

Instructions

Pour the chicken stock into a slow cooker. Stir in the rice, onion, salsa, green chilies, and half of the taco seasoning. Rub the remaining taco seasoning over the chicken breasts and place them into the cooker. Place the lid on the cooker and set to High.
Cook until the rice is thickened and most of the liquid has been absorbed, approximately 3 hours. About 20 minutes before serving, turn the cooker to Warm. Remove the chicken breasts and slice. Stir the chicken and the black beans into the slow cooker. Return lid to the cooker, allow the beans to heat, and serve immediately.
