Robin's No-Chop Chicken Chili

Ingredients:
- 3 c. shredded chicken
- 1 large jar of chunky salsa
- 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can kidney or pinto beans, drained & rinsed
- 2 cans corn, drained
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 2 c. chicken stock
- 1 T. minced garlic
- 1 t. cumin
- 2 to 3 T. chili powder



Directions:

1.  Boil the chicken until tender, shred with forks. (A little planning goes a long way here - if you can let the chicken boil for about an hour, it will just fall apart.)



2.  Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.



3.  Serve as is, or top with sour cream (or greek yogurt), shredded cheese, fritos, or corn bread.
