Black Bean Chicken Nachos

This was brought to our last freezer exchange...so yummy! Recipe comes from Heavenly Homemakers

1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups salsa
2 cups cooked black beans (or one can of prepared beans, if you’ve – you know - not remembered to soak and cook them ahead of time while you were busy not thawing your chicken…)

 tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and other nacho toppings of your choice

Place chicken and salsa in a medium-sized saucepan.  Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes (if chicken is thawed) or 45-50 minutes (if chicken is frozen).  Use a fork and knife to shred chicken and stir it back into the salsa.  Stir in black beans, and continue cooking until beans are hot – about five minutes more.  Serve with shredded cheese and other nacho toppings of your choice.

Scoop up Black Bean Chicken nachos with tortilla chips and congratulate yourself for throwing together such a wonderful meal with such minimal effort.
