STAYCATION PART 1

Well, I've been on my staycation now for almost 3 days, and who knew I could manage to get so much done ! Before the week began, I knew that I wanted to cook, sew and ride my bike....so far, I've managed to do 1 out of the 3....but no worries ! The other 2 will be taken care of before the week is done ! Yesterday, I was in culinary heaven. In a matter of hours, I manage to make a salsa chicken crock pot recipe, granola, strawberry pie and italian stuffed artichokes. I can't believe I managed to get all of that done !

The salsa chicken was delicious. I got the recipe from a parent of one of the children I work with and I have to pass it on ! This is what you will need:

3 large chicken breasts
garlic salt
olive oil
a bag of frozen corn
can of black beans
1 large salsa bottle or 2 smaller jars (I used Goya mild salsa/pico de gallo)

And of course, you need a crock pot. Place the chicken breasts inside the crock pot (cut them into pieces if you like). Season them with garlic salt and drizzle them with olive oil. Set the crock pot on high and cook for 3 hours. After 3 hours, add the black beans, and corn and stir them in well. Cook on high for another hour then set the temp to low. Voila !


I'm not the best at taking pictures and in addition to that, I actually forgot to take a picture. So, here is a pic of the final product....as leftovers !
