Hey it's Danny Wright! I am just like a lot of you! I work all day, my wife works all day, we have a kid... so everyday I come home to a hungry family, but I'm tight on time! Sometimes coming up with what to make for dinner takes longer then actually cooking it!  So, here I will post recipes that I have tried and liked! Hope you will like them too! Then you can feel free to send me your recipes too! DannyWright@maverick-media.ws

This is a recipe for Black Bean/Cream Cheese/Chicken in the crockpot... or as my 4-year old daughter named it... "Adios"

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, you can use some thighs too if you want.
2 can black beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 -15 oz jar of your favorite salsa or can of tomatoes
4 oz fat free or low fat cream cheese
A Pinch of Salt & Pepper
A couple of dashes of Taco seasoning 
Drizzle of Olive Oil

Line your crockpot with cookings spray and place chicken in (You can add beans and corn in now too if you want, but I found that adding them 1/2 through if you can works better, if you won't be around then go ahead and place them all in)

Cook on low for 8 hours

Place all ingredients EXCEPT for cream cheese in the crockpot (yes, the chicken goes in ...
