5 little chicken breasts and presto!

Yesterday I had to use up some chicken that I had defrosted in my fridge...so I began searching for recipes with pantry items that I have such as tomatoes...and I wanted it in my crockpot so that I could go about my day and know that tonight when we walk through the door at 9pm I had something good to fill our hungry bellies.  I took 3 of the chicken breasts and cut them into small pieces I added 1 can of corn, 1 can of kidney beans, 2 cans of diced tomatoes (14 oz each) and a 14 oz can of tomato sauce.  I also added an onion and some of our favorite spices turned it on high for about an hour...then moved it to low.  It is smelling wonderful...I guess kind of like a chicken taco soup.  I took the other two chicken breasts, boiled them and shredded them into a chicken salad for lunch.  Pretty economical eating yesterday.  Two full meals about $10 for the pack of chicken and the rest were pantry items.  But both were hearty and filling!
