430g black beans
400g petite diced tomatoes
1 tsp minced garlic

Method

Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. Remove the fat from the chicken breasts and put them into the slow cooker along with the rinsed quinoa.

Remove the skins and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes adding them into the slow cooker.

Drain and rinse the black beans and add those in. Add in the undrained petite diced tomatoes, minced garlic, chilli seasoning mix and chicken broth.

Place on high for 3-5 hours depending on the power and size of your slow cooker.

Using two forks, shred the chicken and stir all the ingredients together.
