Creamy Black Bean Salsa Chicken

From "101 Things To Do With A Slow Cooker"
Recipe submitted by Emily O.

2 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup salsa (fresh is best - fresh cilantro and white onions really enhance the flavor)
1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (I like white cheese better)

Place chicken in greased 3.5 to 5 quart slow cooker. Pour broth, salsa, corn, beans, and taco seasoning over chicken. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours. Remove chicken with slotted spoon and place on serving dish. Stir sour cream and cheese into remainder and pour over chicken. Or shred chicken, add cheese and sour cream and heat until cheese is melted. Serve over rice.

Variation: Add more chicken broth, shred the chicken and make a soup out of it. Let everyone put their own sour cream and cheese into their bowls. You can also take corn tortillas, cut them into thin slice and deep-fry them in oil then put them in the soup for some crunch.
